Analysis of ab initio Gene Predictions of Drosophila erecta

Introduction It is part of human nature to want to understand the complex biological processes that make life possible. With each advance in biological research that answers questions, many more questions arise. A major milestone in the quest to understand life was the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003. With the full genome in hand, the next round of questions involve trying to find out how such a blueprint is capable of performing all of the tasks essential to life. This involves creating a complete mapping from genome to proteome. The entire human genomic sequence is one of many genomes that provides a foundation for the next level of biological research.
