Exploring the Genetic Landscape: A Comparative Genomics Perspective

Hadia Hijazi

Comparative genomics is a powerful field that aims to unravel the complexities of genetic information by analyzing and comparing the genomes of different organisms. This manuscript provides an overview of the fundamental concepts and methodologies employed in comparative genomics, highlighting its significance in understanding evolutionary relationships, functional genomics, and biomedical research. By comparing genomes across species, scientists gain valuable insights into the structural and functional elements of DNA, gene conservation, genome evolution, and the identification of genetic variations associated with diseases.
