Pig DNA VS Human DNA

Pigs are used to study human diseases like cystic fibrosis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. You may ask: WHY? Because the pig genome is three times closer to our genome than that of mice. Shocking, isn’t it? For example, Jung and their team (2013) have developed a porcine fibroblast model to understand obesity and metabolic syndromes in humans. Scientists have even introduced c-Myc into swine fibroblasts to generate homogenous, stable, hyaline cartilage-like cells without the formation of tumours. These swine fibroblasts will serve as a model to understand cartilage diseases.
