Genome sequencing and informatics: new tools for biochemical discoveries.

During the past 3 years, we have experienced a major revolution in the biological sciences resulting from a tremendous flux of information generated by genome-sequencing efforts. Our understanding of microorganisms, the metabolic processes they catalyze, the genetic apparatuses encoding cellular
