Unraveling the Genetic Mysteries of the Bengal Cat

A study published in Current Biology explores the genetics of Bengal cats, a hybrid breed created by crossing domestic cats with Asian leopard cats in the 1960s. The research reveals that Bengal cats trace their heritage to species from millions of years ago and that their unique appearance is influenced by a small percentage of Asian leopard DNA. The study also uncovers that traits like the "glitter" coat in Bengal cats are caused by mutations in specific genes, offering valuable insights for cat lovers and scientists interested in hybridization and selection.
