The Review of Comparative Genetics
比较遗传学介绍 The Review of Comparative Genetics

With the advance of genetic mapping and comparing of different genomes,an undiscovered type of conservation was revealed: the conservation of gene content and gene orders on the genome level. And it lodged the concept of comparative genetics:the science that studies gene content and gene orders. Now comparative genetics has been used to facilitate the isolation of gene, and it indicates a new field of evolution. This review discuses the development of comparative genetics.In the future, comparative genetics and comparative genomics would be probably syncretize to be a new science, and it will deepen the understanding of genomes.
