	Comparative genomics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Comparative genomics is the study of relationships between the genomes of different species or strains.
		Comparative genomics is an attempt to take advantage of the information provided by the signatures of selection to understand the function and evolutionary processes that act on genomes.
		Identifying the mechanisms of eukaryotic genome evolution by comparative genomics is one of the important goals of the field.

	Genomics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Genomics is the study of an organism's genome and the use of the genes.
		Genomics appeared in the 1980s and took off in the 1990s with the initiation of genome projects for several species.
		This theory holds that the mitochondria and chloroplast organelles found in many animal and plant genomes were originally free-living bacteria that were absorbed by an ancestral eukaryote, and that subsequently became an integral part of the eukaryotic cell.

	genome.gov \| Comparative Genomics Fact Sheet
		Comparative genomics is an exciting new field of biological research in which the genome sequences of different species - human, mouse and a wide variety of other organisms from yeast to chimpanzees - are compared.
		Comparative genomics also provides a powerful tool for studying evolutionary changes among organisms, helping to identify genes that are conserved among species, as well as genes that give each organism its unique characteristics.
		More recently, a comparative genomic analysis of six species of yeast prompted scientists to significantly revise their initial catalog of yeast genes and to predict a new set of functional elements thought to play a role in regulating genome activity.

	Comparative genomics approaches to the study of drought tolerance
		Comparative genomics takes this goal several steps further: to identify and find the role of every gene in every species, to see what changes are significant in making one species different (in phenotype, growth habit, adapted environment) from another, and to determine how these changes came about.
		Comparative genomics of these and other species will allow the identification of traits that are shared by all plants (and, hence, are required for general survival) and those that are only shared by some or all drought-tolerant individuals (and, hence, presumably are required only to survive in drought-prone regions).
		Comparative genomic approaches to drought tolerance are now competent to identify the genes responsible for drought tolerance in crop plants and their close relatives.

	Current genetics - Comparative Genomics
		Using the tools of comparative genomics it is feasible to predict not yet annotated human genes, the existence of the predicted genes is afterwards verified by laboratory methods.
		It is possible to generate a comparative map of a given part of the genome (human, rat and mouse) using algorithms for prediction of synteny regions with the combination of knowledge of available genome maps and sequences.
		It was comparative genomics that showed that rat and mouse are, at least on the level of DNA sequences, closer to the humans and primates than other mammalian models (pig, dog).

	Structural genomics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Structural genomics consists in the determination of the three dimensional structure of all proteins of a given organism, by experimental methods such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy or computational approaches such as homology modelling.
		As opposed to traditional structural biology, the determination of a protein structure through a structural genomics effort often (but not always) comes before anything is known regarding the protein function.
		One of the important aspects of structural genomics is the emphasis on high throughput determination of protein structures.

	Comparative Genomics
		The genomes of related species exhibit conservation of gene order (collinearity) and conservation of gene sequence because the genomes of present day species have evolved from common ancestral genomes.
		Comparative genomics enables the application of information gained from intensely studied model systems to related organisms that are important for human health and agriculture.
		Although these are the standard tools for comparing genomic sequence, the plain text report they produce is not always the most informative way to visualize the relationship.

	Functional and Comparative Genomics Fact Sheet
		Comparative genomics is the analysis and comparison of genomes from different species.
		Genome researchers look at many different features when comparing genomes: sequence similarity, gene location, the length and number of coding regions (called exons) within genes, the amount of noncoding DNA in each genome, and highly conserved regions maintained in organisms as simple as bacteria and as complex as humans.
		Genome size does not correlate with evolutionary status, nor is the number of genes proportionate with genome size.

	genome.gov \| Comparative Genomics
		Sequencing the genomes of the human, the mouse and a wide variety of other organisms - from yeast to chimpanzees - is driving the development of an exciting new field of biological research called comparative genomics.
		By comparing the finished reference sequence of the human genome with genomes of other organisms, researchers can identify regions of similarity and difference.

	genome.gov \| Background on Comparative Genomic Analysis
		By comparing the human genome with the genomes of different organisms, researchers can better understand the structure and function of human genes and thereby develop new strategies in the battle against human disease.
		In addition, comparative genomics provides a powerful new tool for studying evolutionary changes among organisms, helping to identify the genes that are conserved among species along with the genes that give each organism its own unique characteristics.
		The successful sequencing of the human genome, which is scheduled to be finished in April 2003, and the recent draft assemblies of the mouse and rat genomes have demonstrated that large-scale sequencing projects can generate high-quality data at a reasonable cost.

	Comparative Genomics Centre HP
		The Comparative Genomics Centre is a medical research centre founded by the School of Pharmacy and Molecular Sciences in association with the School of Medicine, at the James Cook University.
		The central hypothesis behind the work of the Comparative Genomics Centre is that those genes that have been performing the same function through-out evolutionary history are unlikely to be involved in common diseases.
		For example, by studying the genetics of yeast, coral, fruit fly, mice and humans, the Comparative Genomics Centre aims to distinguish genes involved in self/non self discrimination that have been conserved through evolution from those that have arisen only recently, with a view to comparing their disease associations.
