Describe the genetic mutation thought to cause narcolepsy?
GaleEncyofNeuroDis
The narcolepsy gene allows cells in the hypothalamus to receive messages from other cells. As a result of the mutation, the cells cannot communicate properly, and abnormal sleeping patterns develop.

What process thought to have changed the genetic code over billion years ago?
Basically, random mutation and natural selection. With a little genetic drift and gene flow thrown into the mix. Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.

Where would the Manx cat be at home?
These days, the Manx cat is at home in any domestic setting. If the question means "Where did the Manx cat originate?", it originated on the Isle of Man. They are thought to share a common ancestry with the British Shorthair, and that it was just a genetic mutation that resulted in the tailless variety we now know as the Manx. This genetic mutation resulted in some kittens being born without the extra vertebrae that form the tail of normal cats.
