Book Description:
Through comparative analysis, the genomes of a number of species are providing a deeper understanding of the human genome. This is proving to be highly useful in drug research, especially in the treatment of otherwise intractable conditions. Rather than covering all of comparative genomics, this book compiles first hand descriptions of the pioneering achievements of prominent researchers from diverse fields. The text focuses on revolutionary advances in DNA-sequencing technology, bold new approaches to the organization and analysis of large phylogenetic data sets, the impact of comparative genomics on our understanding of evolution, and efforts toward developing novel antimicrobial drugs. Ultimately, future breakthroughs in comparative genomics will depend upon the continued cooperation between applied and basic research. This seminal volume demonstrates both the means and the fruits of that cooperation, and in doing so defines and lays the groundwork for continued progress.
