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

AP Biology Chapter 21 Genomes and Their Evolution Overview ? Reading the Leaves form the Tree of Life Scientists are now able to compare different species by comparing their DNA We have sequenced the full DNA of many different species now By comparing, we can: study the set of genes that control group defining characteristics Learn about the long evolutionary history of shared ancient genes and their products (by looking at the genome of more different species such as bacteria, fungi, etcs and comparing to animals/humans.) Genomics: The study of whole sets of genes and their interactions. Bioinformatics: a new field ? the application of computational methods to the storage and analysis of biological data.
