Genomics: The chicken genome sequence
Article Abstract:
The chicken genome sequence is based on the red jungleflow, which is the ancestor of all modern chicken breeds. The genome sequence is a tool, which helps researchers in animal production, welfare, domestication, evolution and human diseases.

The quest for natural selection in the age of comparative genomics
Article Abstract:
Several statistical techniques that are used for analyzing the natural selection of closely related species are presented. The techniques are found to employ the comparative genomic approach, hence giving accurate results.
