Abstract
The vast quantities of publicly available DNA sequencing data and genome resources are enabling biologists to investigate ageβold problems in biology that were not addressable previously. In this review, we discuss how comparative genomics is practiced and how the data can be used to make biological inferences with respect to vertebrate evolution and development. Examples are taken from the wellβknown HOX clusters, which are always a highβpriority target for genomic analyses due to their inferred role in the evolution of metazoans. In addition, we briefly discuss the application of genomic approaches to problems in comparative endocrinology. J. Exp. Zool. 305A:672β682, 2006. Β© 2006 WileyβLiss, Inc.

## Abstract Embryonic modularity and functional modularity are two principles of brain organization. Embryonic modules are histogenetic fields that are specified by positionβdependent expression of patterning genes. Within each embryonic module, secondary and higherβlevel pattern formation takes pl
