Abstract
The publication of the first complete genome sequence of a bacterium (Haemophilus influenzae) in 1995 (33) marked a turning point in the genetic analysis of cells and organisms. Before that, at the most, only subsets of the cellular gene repertoire were known and could be analyzed. Nowadays, having access to sequence data of entire genomes, much more comprehensive studies became possible aiming at the understanding of the two key processes of all living systems, reproduction and metabolism, defined as the sum of all chemical reactions taking place in a cell.
