RE: The dog breed whippet can have a mutation in the genes that code for production of myostatin, resulting in the dogs having a huge muscle mass compared to other dogs from the same breed!
Hehe, yeah, a bully whippet is definitely going to make the home invaders disappear. I think the bully whippets also look pretty adorable, but the uncertainty of the health risks associated with the mutation is is big problem if I were to get one.
Genetics is a lot of fun, and it was definitely one of the courses I enjoyed the most at university. It can be a bit of information overload (at least for me) though, since there's a lot of different stuff to remember.
