Comparative Genomics

Tackling the vast amount of genomic information is no easy task - we will continue to push the envelopes of existing research at the forefront of genomic analyses and also pioneer fresh approaches to study genomes and proteomes. The emphasis will be on combining computational and experimental approaches to provide unique resources that are freely available to the entire biomedical community. Comparison of genes and proteins from humans, mouse, rat, dog, frog, cow, worm, fruitfly and fish genomes for identification of genes and regulatory sequences and to establish syntenic relationships. We also plan to validate genes that are predicted in the human genome by laboratory experiments. cDNAs obtained from such experiments will be made freely available to researchers.
