Chapter 18 Genomes and Their Revolution Overview: Reading the Leaves from the Tree of Life ? Complete genome sequences exist for a human, chimpanzee, E. coli and numerous other prokaryotes, corn, fruit fly, house mouse, orangutan, and others ? Comparisons of genomes among organisms provide information about the evolutionary history of genes and taxonomic groups ?Genomics is the study of whole sets of genes and their interactions ? Bioinformatics is the application of computational methods to the storage and analysis of biological data Concept 18.1: The Human Genome Project fostered development of faster, less expensive sequencing techniques ? The Human Genome Project officially began in 1990, and the sequencing was largely completed by 2003

Biology: Ch. 20 Study Guide Explain how advances in recombinant DNA technology have helped scientists study the eukaryotic genome. In short: Recombinant DNA has allowed the creation of the biotechnology industry. Longer explanation: Recombinant DNA is DNA in which nucleotide sequences from two different sources ? often different species ? are combined in vitro into the same DNA molecule. Once created by scientists, it is introduced into cultured cells that replicate the DNA and express its genes, creating a desired protein product. This has allowed genetic engineering (the direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes), which has created the biotech industry. Explain the goals of the Human Genome Project.
