Researchers from the United States and Australia said on the 8th local time that they will jointly carry out gene sequence determination of kangaroos, making the kangaroo a mammal that has been drawn to a genome sketch after the human, dog and rat. This will provide scientists with a basis for studying biological evolution. A press release issued by the National Institute of Human Genome Research on its website said that the Institute and the Australian Genome Research Institute will jointly launch the study. Scientists say that because kangaroos and humans are far apart, comparisons between kangaroos and humans' genomic sequences are helpful for studying the evolutionary process of organisms. The kangaroo had a common ancestor with humans about 130 million years ago, and the chimpanzees that are closely related to humans had similar ancestors with humans 7 million years ago. The communique said that scientists are expected to use more than two years to carry out genome sequencing of Tamarin Kangaroo. This is a smaller kangaroo breed that lives mainly on the southern and western coasts of Australia. Previously, scientists have planned to perform genome sequencing on another marsupial animal, the South American possum. Although these two animals are close relatives, they have been "of the same family" for more than 70 million years ago. Scientists believe that it makes sense to compare their genomes with one another and then compare them with the human genome. As more and more mammalian genomic sequences have been determined, the scientific community hopes to compare the genomic sequences of these animals to provide genetic clues for the study of the causes and therapies of certain diseases.
