Human Genome Project investigators aim to create tools that assist them in pinpointing specific genes. These include the genetic map, which displays landmarks more or less evenly spaced along chromosomes; and physical maps consisting of sets of DNA that span entire chromosomes. Evolutionary Changes As mutations accumulate in human eggs and sperm cells, they occasionally…
We published two articles focusing on the replaceability of yeast genes with their human equivalents, particularly the duplicated human genes.

In this issue, Garge and colleagues studied the…
