Q

Relation to Biological science 2

A

Genomics

  • Genomics is a discipline in genetics that applies recombinant DNA, DNA sequencing methods, and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and analyse the function and structure of genomes

efforts to determine the entire DNA sequence of organisms and fine-scale genetic mapping.

the investigation of the roles and functions of single genes is a primary focus of molecular biology or genetics and is a common topic of modern medical and biological research.

  • Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions.
  • Proteins are vital parts of living organisms, as they are the main components of the physiological metabolic pathways of cells.
  • Proteomics, formed on the basis of the research and development of the Human Genome Project, is also an emerging scientific research, involving exploration of the proteome from the overall level of intracellular protein composition, structure, and its own unique activity patterns.
  • It is an important component of functional genomics.
