This group is dedicated to Comparative genomics ... Dramatic results have emerged from the rapidly developing field of comparative genomics. Comparison of the fruit fly genome with the human genome reveals that about sixty percent of genes are conserved (Adams et al. 2000). That is, the two organisms appear to share a core set of genes. Researchers have also found that two-thirds of human genes known to be involved in cancer have counterparts in the fruit fly.
The goal of our research is to better understand the biology of microbial organisms of significant ecological, veterinary and medical importance.
To achieve this goal, our team combines the power of next generation DNA sequencing and...
