- Summary:
- Much of what is known about living systems and the way they function has been learned from the study of so-called model organisms, including bacteria, yeasts, flies, worms, and mice. The founders of the Human Genome Project valued these other organisms and their contributions to biomedical science so much that they made obtaining the whole genome of each an important goal, along with the main objective of obtaining the whole genome of humans.
- A potential benefit of compiling a yeast genome database is the ability to find yeast counterparts, or homologues, to genes in humans that are associated with specific diseases. In recent years researchers have made significant advances in identifying those genes that, when either absent or present in defective form, are responsible for a number of hereditary human diseases such as Huntington disease, Batten disease, and fragile X syndrome.
