One thing I found interesting in visiting the lab in Seattle was that Heidi Parker told me that in several cases where dogs suffer from the same ailment as humans, diabetes for example, that when they have located the genetic marker on the human DNA, within months they are able to locate the genetic marker in the dogs. Usually it is in a position close to that on the human DNA. Therefore, by identifying markers in humans, it can be transferred to animals and vice versa. They are hoping to do this with various forms of cancer as well as other diseases.

I changed the subject line to include *OTHER* studies, as well.
What about any other studies that are not specifically for cancer, like tracing DNA?
