Abstract

The development of molecular techniques and major advances in automating DNA sequencing and developing computer programs to analyse large amounts of sequence data, made the sequencing of large genome a real possibility in the mid- 1980. The first results of these data were used for analysing genes and gene expression that has revolutionized experimental biology. Comparative genomics approaches have become powerful tools as multiple genome sequences are deciphered fully. Comparison of the entire genomes (or part of genomes) of different species, strains, or individuals, provides a high detailed view of our understanding of functions and evolutionary relationship of each genome.

Keywords: Comparative Genomics; Evolutionary Relationship; Sequence Data
