In this chapter, we focused on the analysis of genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes and considered important applications and findings from these endeavors. At the same time, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions?
What evidence supports the concept that humans share substantial sequence similarities and gene functional similarities with model organisms?

Understand the concept of genomics: Genomics is the study of genomes, which includes the complete set of DNA within an organism, including all of its genes.
Identify the classes of genomics: Common classes include bioinformatics, comparative genomics, and functional genomics.
Bioinformatics: This involves the use of computational tools to analyze and interpret biological data, particularly genetic sequences.
Comparative genomics: This class focuses on comparing the genomes of different species to understand their evolutionary relationships and functional similarities.
Functional genomics: This class aims to understand the function and interaction of genes and proteins within the genome. Note that 'Darwinian genomics' is not a recognized class in genomics.
