== Essay: What is sequencing in Genomics and Omics? (as an approach of understanding life). Sequencing. ==
<p>Omics aims at the collective characterization and measurement of pools of biological molecules that interpret into the structure, function, and dynamics of living things. Genomics is the new science that deals with the discovery and taking notes of the considerable number of sequences in the whole genome of a specific living organism. The genome can be characterized as the complete arrangement of genes inside a cell. Genomics is, hence, the investigation of the genetic make-up of organisms.</p>
<p>Genome sequencing is figuring out the order of DNA nucleotides, or bases, in a genome—the order of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts that make up a life form's DNA. The human genome is comprised of more than 3 billion of these genetic letters.</p>
<p>Genome sequencing is frequently contrasted with "decoding," yet a sequence is still particularly in code. One might say, a genome sequence is just a long series of letters in a mysterious language.</p>
<p>When you read a sentence, the meaning is not simply in the arrangement of the letters. It is additionally in the words those letters make and in the sentence structure of the language. Thus, the human genome is more than simply its sequence. Imagine the genome as a book written without capitalization or punctuation, without breaks between words, sentences, or paragraphs, and with strings of nonsense letters scattered between and even inside sentences.</p>
<p>Sequencing the genome is a vital step towards understanding it. In any event, the genome succession will speak to a profitable easy route, helping researchers discover genes more effectively and faster. A genome arrangement contains a few signs about where genes are, despite the fact that researchers are simply figuring out how to decipher these pieces of information.</p>
<p>Scientists also hope that having the capacity to concentrate on the whole genome arrangement will help them see how the genome overall functions—how gene cooperate to coordinate the development, improvement and support of a whole organism.</p>
<p>Finally, genes account for less than 25 percent of the DNA in the genome, and so, I think, knowing the entire genome sequence will help scientists study the parts of the genome outside the genes. This includes the regulatory regions that control how genes are turned on an off, as well as long stretches of "nonsense" DNA—so called because we don't yet know what, if anything, it does.</p>
