The pig (Sus scrofa) is an important model organism for health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and organ transplantation. It represents the artiodactyls, or cloven-hoofed mammals, which are an evolutionary clade distinct from the primates and rodents. Pigs exist in both feral and domesticated populations, which have distinct phenotypes and karyotypes.
