tailieunhanh - Exploring Horizons for Domestic Animal Genomics

Over the past several years, scientists from the United States and around the world have been using a technique called DNA sequencing to unlock the genetic code of many different organisms. With code in hand, scientists can design sophisticated experiments that will inform our understanding of how an organism develops and functions. To date, they have carried out partial or complete DNA sequencing on human, mouse, rat, bacterial, and plant genomes. A major finding that was confirmed from these efforts is that most biologic functions are genetically conserved within and between species | Exploring Horizons for Domestic Animal Genomics Workshop Summary NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL Exploring Horizons for Domestic Animal Genomics Workshop Summary BOARD ON AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES BOARD ON LIFE SCIENCES DIVISION ON EARTH AND LIFE STUDIES National Research Council By Robert Pool and Kim Waddell National Academy Press Washington .
