Chapter 16.1, Problem 4C
Summary Introduction
To explain: How evolutionary relationship between mice and humans overcome some of the difficulties in studying human inheritance.
Concept introduction: Comparative genomics is a branch of genomics which contributes in the comparison of parts or whole of genomes from genome databases for different species of organisms. This includes human genome database, mouse genome database (MGD), drosophila genome database, and so on.
