Expected to unveil 'rumpy', 'stumpy' and 'longy' sub-breeds
A project which is looking to map the genome of the Manx cat is progressing, but needs more cash to carry out its second set of tests.
It is attempting to find out why our nation's felines have evolved without a tail, and why a variation exists between the 'rumpy', 'stumpy' and 'longy' sub-breeds.
So far a healthy cat called Bonnag has had her genome mapped.
The project's head scientist Rachel Glover explains what the plan is now:
Mountain Road reopens
Route has been closed since Wednesday due to icy conditions
Patients 'strongly satisfied' with virtual GP pilot
Service to be evaluated before decision on whether to expand to other practices
Island to mark the golden anniversary of the Millennium of Tynwald
Tynwald Ceremony Arrangements Committee to oversee the organisation
Douglas Council looking for residents views on the future of Noble's Park
Local authority wants to know what could be improved in the area
Tynwald backs major overhaul of Isle of Man planning system
A more efficient, user-friendly process is promised
