Abstract
The recent descriptions of the first two full genomes derived from fre e-living independent organisms-and the promise of several more in the near future-has opened up a new field of study, called comparative gen omics, by enabling researchers to compare the complete genetic road ma ps of different species and provide new information on evolution, gene tics, and disease, among other subjects.
