Mammalian Genome Project

Identification of the functional elements in the human genome — including both coding and non-coding — is a key foundation for biomedical research. One of the most powerful ways to discover these elements is through cross-species comparisons with other mammalian genomes — in effect, deciphering evolution's laboratory notebook containing the results of 100 million years of evolution.
