Scientists from the Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh have helped crack the sheep's genetic code. The team was part of an international sheep genome research consortium that sequenced the complete genetic makeup of the Texel sheep, the same breed of sheep seen in the photo. Their findings reveal that the sheep became a separate species from the goats 4 million years ago. Photo: Kay Aitchison, Royal Veterinary School, University of Edinburgh.
