Cross-species comparison of genome-wide expression patterns.
The rapid accumulation of microarray data from multiple species provides unprecedented opportunities to study the evolution of biological systems. Recent studies have used cross-species comparisons of expression profiles to annotate gene functions, to draw evolutionary inferences concerning specific biological processes and to study the global properties of expression networks.
