Genomics (engelsk)

(2021)
Abstract: Genomics is the discipline of molecular biology concerned with the comprehensive analysis of an organism's genome (the full complement of inherited information-bearing genetic material residing in an organism's chromosomes).Genomics encompasses all aspects related to the genome, including genomic structure, function, and mapping. As a discipline, genomics focuses on an organism's entire set of genes rather than on individual genes.The field of genomics is directed to the informative features embedded in a given genome's DNA sequence.Genomic information is crucial to understanding biology. In essence, a species' genes and regulatory circuitry determine possibilities for, and set constraints on, the structure and function of its individual members.Genomic methodologies aim to develop large-scale, high-throughput, cost-effective strategies for the analysis of genomes. Two distinct activities are typically employed: sequence determination and sequence interpretation
