NYU announces establishment of a center for comparative functional genomics

mputer science are integrated with those of biology. This integration will be emphasized in the Center's programs.

The Center will also draw upon the close ties that exist between NYU and the American Museum of Natural History and The New York Botanical Garden. These two institutions are leaders in research on evolutionary biology, and, through The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Program for Molecular Systematics Studies, have active programs in comparative genomics, and are home to the largest collections of animal and plant specimens in the world. The Center will also interface with NYU's School of Medicine and NYU's affiliate, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, to integrate genomics programs across the university's campuses.
