Summary Introduction

To review:

The biological terminology, “comparative genomics” with an example demonstrating its use.

Introduction:

A genome is a complete set of genes present in an organism and genome sequencing deciphers the complete sequence of nucleotides forming the genome of an organism. The size of the genome varies between million and billion base pairs. The prokaryotic genome is less complex than eukaryotic genome because introns or noncoding regions are present only in eukaryotes. Genome sequencing is carried out in different organisms and being in the process for other organisms.
