What is comparative genomics?
A field that compares genomes across species to understand evolution, gene function, and genome organization -
What is a homologous gene?
Agene that isshared betweenspecies due tocommon ancestry , though it may havediverged overtime
gen dat bij verschillende soorten voorkomt en van een gemeenschappelijke voorouder afstamt.
bijvoorbeeld het gen voor ogen bij mensen en bij vliegen -
What does comparative genomics reveal?
Variation in homologous genes between humans and other species (e.g., mouse, dog, whale, bird) helping to identify conserved and divergent regions -
Example of synteny in humans and mice?
Human chromosome 17 shows synteny with mouse chromosome 11 - many genes are in the same order, indicating shared ancestry -
Why are mice oftend used in genomic comparisons?
Mice are genetically similar to humans and serve as a model organism due to their short generation time and well-annotated genome -
What can conserved gene sequences suggest?
That a gene is functionally important and has been preserved through evolution -
What can divergent regions between species indicate?
Species-specific traits, adaptations, or changes in gene regulation -
