2003 JAN 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A leading expert in computational biology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) estimates that it took many more evolutionary genome rearrangements than previously thought - both large and small - to account for differences in the human and mouse genomes.
The findings of Jacobs School of Engineering computer science and engineering professor Pavel Pevzner and project scientist Glenn Tesler are included in two landmark papers.
In the December 5, 2002, issue of the journal Nature, Pevzner and other scientists in the 31-institution Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium published a near-final genetic blueprint of a mouse, together with the first comparative analysis of the mouse and human genomes. In a companion paper published in the December 4, 2002, Genome Research journal, Pevzner and Tesler (in collaboration with Michael Kamal and Eric Lander at the Whitehead/MIT Center for Genome Research) analyze human-mouse genome rearrangements for insights about the evolution of mammals, and outline their…
