Comparative genomics is the field of genomics that studies the functions of genes and nongene sequences in genomes.
Comparative Genomics
The study and comparison of genomes from different species to understand genetic similarities, differences, and evolutionary relationships.
Genomes
A genome comprises all the genetic material in an organism, representing the entire set of DNA, including all of its genes and non-coding sequences.
Nongene Sequences
Portions of the DNA that do not code for proteins and may include regulatory elements, introns, or repetitive sequences.
