Overview: Since the advent of the Human Genome Project, an increasingnumber of disease-causing genes have been discovered and, in somecases, genetic tests developed. However, this is only the first step.The second, much larger phase is the analysis of the total sequence.What does the rest of the DNA do? The answer to this question will bedetermined by computer prediction, expression profiling, andcomparative genome analysis. ..Comparative Genomics. covers such topics as identifying novelgenes, determining gene function, control sequences, and developmentalswitches. The book aims to demonstrate
