Comparative genomics is akin to comparing notes across different species. By comparing features at the genetic level—of completely sequenced (or nearly so) genomes—comparative sequence analyses ...

Aligned nucleotides of the spurious ORF, YDR102C, are shown as stacked squares for the four species compared (S. cerevisiae, S. paradoxus, S. mikatae, and S. bayanus, respectively). Green represents a ...

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that combines biology, computer science, mathematics, and statistics to analyze and interpret biological data. It involves the development and application ...

We are living in an era where biology has become synonymous with big data due to the ever-increasing amount of data being generated by technologies such as next-generation sequencing. Bioinformatics ...
