title: An update and lessons from whole-genome sequencing projects.
abstract: A number of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes are currently being sequenced. Already, the nucleotide sequences of four yeast chromosomes and of 2.2 Mb from Caenorhabditis elegans have been reported. Human genomic sequences have also been used in comparative studies with both mouse and Fugu rubripes.
