<h1><strong><u>The Genomic Lab</u></strong></h1>
</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;The Genomics lab was established in&nbsp;July 2014 by a group of researchers in Korea.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The genomics lab is a team of dedicated people who want to understand the structure and function of the genomes on Earth. The main application area is anti-cancer and anti-aging. The topics are unlimited.&nbsp;TGL belongs to BME (Biomedical Engineeing department of UNIST) in SLS (School of Life Science).</strong></p>

<p><strong>Professor Bhak Jong Hwa is a director of the The genomic Institute in the UNIST. I had a chance to get an experience in this lab for two months. The Genomic Institute run diverse projects like whole genome sequencing, transcriptome analysis and etc..</strong></p>

<p><strong>&nbsp;Currently, TGI doing genome sequencing analysis of whale shark, coral genome and jellyfish. Moreover, TGI is not confined on sequencing of the living species, either do relevance projects concerning problems in society, and trying to identify some genetic markers for those characteristic issues.</strong></p>

</ul>

<p>&nbsp;During the two month of internship in The Genomic Institute I&rsquo;ve learned important values of the genomics. Before doing internship, I had known diverse things and learned plenty of stuffs in research area but I had had difficulties in correlating them. All seemed to me complicated. However, after having internship experience, I organized every research step in sequential order, and I could make whole picture of it. Now I know well how genome analysis have done. As an example, in below table I provided brief summary of the main genomic analysis I&rsquo;ve learned so far:</p>

<p>In above table, in each step there are plenty of tools used for, which I have to learn in detail in near future.</p>

<p>&nbsp;In addition, I&rsquo;ve acknowledged that Bioinformatics is the main tool in genomic analysis. I cannot imagine how would researches in big mass of information of the DNA and protein would computed without programming codes. I have strong desire to fortify my bioinformatics skill further in order to do rewarding researches, and correctly interpret biological data.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Since DNA carries all genetic instructions used in growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all living organisms, fascinating thing is that, while conducting researches in genomic lab you learn, work and know about everything every day. Compare to laboratories, where researches are confined in specific topic Genomic department researchers observe everything and create big pictures of the life. For a student like me who has big passion in learning about living organisms it was best experiences. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
