Homework for Genomics

1) Define Genomics your own way after doing research on what genomes are and how we study.

-Genomics is changing the paradigm of biology

 

2) What is the origin of genomics?

-The genomics by Darwin & Mendel

3) History of genomics?

 - Darwin>Mendel > 3D Proteins > Cloning, Recombination > Amplification Technologies > Human Reference Genome > Next Gen. Sequencing/Personal Genomics > Synthetic Biology > Genome Engineering

 

4) The future of genomics?

-The future genomic technologies allow clinicians and biomedical researchers to drastically increase the amount of genomic data collected on large study populations.

5) What is the relationship with other omics?

The related suffix -ome is used to address the objects of study of such fields, such as the genome, proteome or metabolome respectively. The suffix -ome as used in molecular biology refers to a totality of some sort; similarly omics has come to refer generally to the study of large, comprehensive biological data sets. While the growth in the use of the term has led some scientists to claim that it has been oversold, it reflects the change in orientation towards the quantitative analysis of complete or near-complete assortment of all the constituents of a system

6) How can we engineer genomes?

 It alters the genetic make-up of an organism using techniques that remove heritable material or that introduce DNA prepared outside the organism either directly into the host or into a cell that is then fused or hybridized with the host.This involves using recombinant nucleic acid  techniques to form new combinations of heritable genetic material followed by the incorporation of that material either indirectly through a vector system or directly through micro-injection, macro-injection and micro-encapsulation techniques.
