Research Highlights
We can learn a lot from other species
Posted: May 17, 2012
Researchers at EMBL-EBI and SIB have confirmed the long-held conjecture that studying the genes we share with other animals is a viable means of extrapolating information about human biology. The study, published in the open access journal PLoS Computational Biology, shows how bioinformatics makes it possible to test the fundamental principles on which life science is built.
