[Histonet] Pigs as models of human biology

[Jorge A. Santiago-Blay]

Dear Histonetters:


I often wonder what are the reasons why pigs seem to be used so often in
studies of human physiology. For phylogenetic reasons, I would have thought
chimps would be the preferred choice. Is it because of humane, $, or are
there other considerations? Thank you.
