Aging is associated with characteristic changes at the physiological and molecular level, however organismal life span is still the best measure of aging rate.
The CASP results indicate that structure prediction methods have matured to a point where they can be applied on a genome-wide scale, and that these structures can be used with novel but straight-forward approaches to annotate and understand function [ 54 55 60 61 ] . The resulting models and annotations, when combined with other genomic/proteomic data, including that from gene expression arrays [ 62 ] , genome-wide two-hybrid experiments [ 63 ] , and other proteomics studies [ 64 ] , will provide us with a dynamic picture of organismal structure, function, and evolution [ 65 ] .
Woese [ 16] contends that the rRNA tree is a valid representation of organismal genealogy, that LGT was rampant only before the initial bifurcation of the universal phylogenetic tree, and that LGT has become progressively more restricted as a function of elapsed evolutionary time.
The most straightforward version of this type of analysis, to which we hereinafter refer to as 'genome-tree' building, involves scaling-up the traditional tree-building approach and analyzing the phylogenetic trees for multiple gene families (in principle, all families represented in many genomes), in an attempt to derive a consensus, 'organismal' phylogeny [ 3 4 5 ] . However, because of the wide spread of horizontal gene transfer and lineage-specific gene loss, at least in the prokaryotic world, comparison of trees for different families and consensus derivation may become highly problematic [ 6 7 ] . Probably due to all these problems, a pessimistic conclusion has been reached that prokaryotic phylogeny might not be reconstructable from protein sequences, at least with current phylogenetic methods [ 4 ] .
Genome duplication events generate a duplicate for every gene in the genome, representing a huge opportunity for a step-change in organismal complexity.
