Animal Molecular Breeding 2024, Vol.14, No.1, 19-26 http://animalscipublisher.com/index.php/amb 25 This study studies the module structure in the network to understand the interrelationships between different functional modules. This helps people more fully understand the complexity of the cat genome and provides a more detailed theoretical basis for further research on cat behavior and physiological processes. This in-depth analysis will enable researchers to better understand the biological network of the cat genome and provide useful guidance for future genetic research and the regulation of cat behavior. 4.2 Gene regulatory network Gene regulatory networks play a key role in the physiological and behavioral processes of cats, involving complex regulatory mechanisms of transcription factors and miRNAs. Detailed dissection of this network will be critical to uncovering the details of molecular regulation in cats and the molecular basis of adaptive behavior. In the cat gene regulatory network, transcription factors and miRNA are the main regulators of gene expression. Transcription factors directly affect the physiological functions and behavioral performance of cats by binding to the promoter region of genes and activating or inhibiting the gene transcription process. By binding to the mRNA of the target gene, miRNA regulates the translation and stability of the gene, thereby indirectly affecting the expression level of key genes. By deeply exploring the complexity of gene regulatory networks, people will gain a more comprehensive understanding of the physiological and behavioral regulatory mechanisms of cat genes, providing a more profound theoretical basis for cat genetics and gene editing research. This not only helps advance the scientific community in the fields of biodiversity and genomics, but also provides concrete scientific evidence for improving cat breeds, improving quality of life, and deepening interactions with humans. 5 Summary and Outlook Cat genome research is a promising field, laying the foundation for a deeper understanding of the biology of this close companion of humans. With the continuous advancement of technology, this study can foresee that more genetic data will be available for analysis in the future, thereby deepening the understanding of cat genes. The development of gene editing technology will allow researchers to more precisely study and improve cats' genes, providing the possibility of breeding healthier, smarter and more adaptable cat breeds. As concerns about cat behavior and health increase, genomic research will provide more comprehensive solutions to cat behavioral problems and diseases. Cat genome research not only helps improve the quality of life of cats, but also provides valuable insights for human medicine and genetic research. Through in-depth research on cat genes, people can better understand the commonalities and differences of genes in mammals (Buckley and Lyons, 2020). This provides a reference for the study of human genetic diseases, helps to gain an in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis of some diseases, and thereby provides new treatment strategies for human medicine. Cats' role in human society also makes genome research socially relevant. By revealing the close relationship between cats and humans, people can better understand the status of cats in human culture and promote harmonious coexistence between humans and animals. This kind of cross-species genetic research will not only help improve the lives of cats, but also help humans better understand and protect their animal companions. Cat genome research offers vast scope for improvements in cat health and behavior. By gaining a deeper understanding of the genes associated with cat behavior, researchers can develop more targeted training and socialization improvement programs to improve the quality of cat -human interactions. At the same time, for some behavioral problems, such as aggression or excessive intimacy, the application of gene editing technology will also provide new ways to modify behavior. In terms of health, genomic research is expected to reveal the genetic variations that cause common cat diseases, thereby preventing and treating these diseases in advance (Zhang and Schoenebeck, 2020). Through genetic diagnosis, medical staff can develop more personalized medical plans, provide each cat with a customized health management plan, and improve its quality of life.
