Scientists complete DNA sequencing and analysis of multiple fruit fly genomes
November 20th, 2007
In one of the first large-scale comparisons of multiple animal genomes, scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT, and many collaborating institutions, have analyzed the genomes of twelve species of the fruit fly Drosophila to reveal insights on the evolution of genes and genomes and to discern the functional elements encoded in animal DNA. The work appears in the November 7 issue of Nature and in more than 40 accompanying papers in Genome Research and other journals. The method of comparing the genomes of multiple related species, fly or otherwise, not only reveals new insights into species evolution...
