A Genetic Skeleton Key

nt of the reconstruction was target material from organisms evolutionarily extremely different from humans -- bacteria, yeasts and others -- 25 of the reconstructions were 100 percent accurate

"We believe our method will prove extremely useful to researchers, not just in biotechnology, but also evolutionary biology," Pevzner says. "It will enable biologists to trace, with exceptional precision, exact degrees of difference between gene organization in different species. And it will help to establish evolutionary relationships between species."

The research was supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Energy, the Russian Fund for Fundamental Research, the Russian Human Genome Program, and the National Science Foundation's Young Investigator Program.
