Comparative genomics and more specialized fields such as comparative virology, etc., involve the comparison of DNA sequences, genes and genomes [ 12 13 14 ] . Recent rapid data acquisition is allowing the analyses of whole genome sequences, especially the smaller genomes such as mitochondria and chloroplasts [ 15 16 17 ] , as well as the larger bacterial genomes [ 18 19 ] and large tracts of eukaryotic chromosomes, especially from related organisms [ 12 13 14 20 21 22 23 ] .

Although the formation of intranuclear inclusions has not been observed in previous studies of Ras-related GTPases, it is a common feature of several neurodegenerative disorders where abnormal proteins containing poly-Gln tracts are synthesized as a result of CAG codon expansions [ 52 ] . Examples include Huntington's disease (huntingtin) [ 53 54 ] , spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) types 1 and 3 (ataxin-1 and ataxin-3) [ 55 56 ] and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (atrophin-1) [ 57 ] .
