NIH Comparative Genomics Resource project
The potential impact of emerging model organisms on human health Comparative genomics is a science that compares genomic data either within a species or across species to answer questions in biomedicine. Laboratory experiments can then investigate the functional impact of those genomics similarities and differences. The history of comparative genomics goes back to the mid-1990s, … Continue reading NIH Comparative Genomics Resource project
