Concept explainers
To explain: How genome comparisons have helped to identify the noncoding sequences that have some biological function.
Introduction: The whole genome sequences of a large number of organisms are available from the simple prokaryotes to higher eukaryotes. Comparative genomics contributes for studying the changes in the organism’s DNA during evolution to identify the genes that are conserved among species and the genes that are unique to an organism.
To determine: Whether the functions of noncoding sequences have been identified.
