A further application of genomics is in the study of evolutionary relationships. Using classical genetics, evolutionary relationships can be studied by comparing the chromosome size, number, and banding patterns between populations, species, and genera. However, if full genomic sequences are available, comparative genomics…

…genomic sequences within one species, comparative genomics is the study of similarities and differences between different species. In recent years a staggering number of full or almost full genome sequences from different species have been determined and deposited in public databases such as NIH’s Entrez Genome database. By comparing these…
