Well now! I think it would be awesome if someone mapped the snake genome (?) It sure as heck would make things easier to understand! Like with rats, they are so studied, and there is a lot of literature on what certain genes and their modifiers do, and what happens when they dont get where they're going and it creates certain colors and patterns when you do this because of that. I think it would clear a lot of stuff up. Just something to chew on.
