Genomics Science Uses

 The advent of those technologies resulted during a rapid intensification within the scope and speed of completion of genome sequencing projects. In 1992, the first eukaryotic chromosome, chromosome III of brewer's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (315 kb) was sequenced. The following year a consortium of researchers from laboratories across North America, Europe, and Japan announced the completion of the first complete genome sequence of a eukaryote. As of October 2011, the entire sequences are available for: 2,719 viruses, 1,115 archaea and bacteria, and 36 eukaryotes, of which about half are fungi. Of the opposite sequenced species, most were chosen because they were well-studied model organisms or promised to become good models. Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has long been a crucial model organism for the eukaryotic cell, while the pomace fly drosophila has been a really important tool (notably in early pre-molecular genetics). The zebrafish Brachydanio rerio is employed for several developmental studies on the molecular level, and therefore the plant Arabidopsis thaliana may be a model organism for flowering plants. The mammals dog (Canis familiaris), Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), mouse (Mus musculus), and chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) are all important model animals in medical research.
