Text and/or other creative content from this version of Appaloosa was copied or moved into Horse genome with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

A fact from Horse genome appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 April 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the horse genome contains 2.7 billion DNA base pairs, and horses have over 90 hereditary diseases similar to those found in humans?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/April. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Horse genome.

Should this research be added to the article? Is it relevant? http://www.nature.com/news/first-horses-arose-4-million-years-ago-1.13261 "First horses arose 4 million years ago - The oldest full genome sequence, recovered from ancient horse bone, pushes back equine origins by 2 million years." "...The sequence was extracted from a foot bone of a horse that lived between 780,000 and 560,000 years ago. By sequencing the animal's genome, along with those of a 43,000-year-old horse, five modern domestic horse breeds, a wild Przewalski’s horse and a donkey, researchers were able to trace the evolutionary history of the horse family in unprecedented detail. They estimate that the ancient ancestor of the modern Equus genus, which includes horses, donkeys and zebras, branched off from other animal lineages about 4 million years ago — twice as long ago as scientists had previously thought.

“We have beaten the time barrier,” says evolutionary biologist Ludovic Orlando of the University of Copenhagen, who led the work with colleague Eske Willerslev. Noting that the oldest DNA sequenced before this came from a polar bear between 110,000 and 130,000 years old, Orlando says: “All of a sudden, you have access to many more extinct species than you could have ever dreamed of sequencing before....” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.48.15.246 (talk) 16:30, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
