scopeNote	A method for comparing two sets of chromosomal DNA by analyzing differences in the copy number and location of specific sequences. It is used to look for large sequence changes such as deletions, duplications, amplifications, or translocations. https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/#/record/ui?ui=D055028 Comparative genomics is an exciting field of biological research in which researchers use a variety of tools, including computer-based analysis, to compare the complete genome sequences of different species. By carefully comparing characteristics that define various organisms - including the genomes of organisms ranging from humans to chimpanzees to yeast - researchers can pinpoint regions of similarity and difference. This information can help scientists better understand the structure and function of human genes, and develop new strategies to combat human disease. https://www.genome.gov/11509542/comparative-genomics-fact-sheet/ RD
