<p><strong>Genomics</strong> is the omics study of genes of individual organisms, populations, and species. It is also a paradigm of performing science that deviates from investigating single genes, their functions and roles. The main reason of an independent biological discipline is that it deals with very large set of genetic information to automatically analyze information using interaction and network concepts. Genomics inevitably employs computing and bioinformatics.<br /></p>
