Why is it important?
By applying EDGAR it is easy to identify specific traits of individual genomes, as well as common genomic features shared by a group of organisms. Likewise, it is convenient to resolve phylogenetic relations of the organisms or to monitor the occurrence of individual genes of interest within the group of genomes.
