Researchers can now compare not only the genomes, but all the genes expressed, by domestic and wild tomatoes. You say tomato, I say comparative transcriptomics. Researchers in the U.S., Europe and Japan have produced the first comparison of both the DNA sequences and which genes are active, or being transcribed, between the domestic tomato and its wild cousins.
