What is Genome Comparison?
Genome Comparison is a project of the Bioinformatics Team at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Fiocruz that uses distributed computing to contribute your computer's idle resources
to calculate the sequence similarity level among the whole protein content encoded in completely sequenced genomes of hundreds of organisms, including humans and several other species of medical, commercial, industry, or research importance. The calculated similarity indices will be used, together with standardized Gene Ontology, as a reference repository for the annotator community, providing an invaluable data source for biologists.
