The available web-based genome resources provide great opportunities for biomedical scientists to identify functional elements in a particular genome region or explore the evolutionary pattern of genome dynamics. This chapter gives a brief review of the availability of web-based databases and software for selected important topics. Topics covered include bioinformatic resources for evolutionary genomics, basic statistics for homologous search, sequence alignment, microarrays and statistics, and Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms.

Keywords: web-based resources; biomedical research; genome dynamics; evolutionary genomics; microarrays; homologous search
