HW : Genomics?

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

 Genomics is study of whole genes. We can detect DNA, RNA, Protein. DNA sequencing is the representative method of genomics.

2) What is the origin of genomics?

 The term genomics was coined by Tom Roderick, a geneticist at the Jacson Laboratory, over beer at a meeting held in Maryland on the mapping of the human genome in 1986.

3) History of genomics?

 1953 - James D. Watson and Francis Crick's publication of the structure of DNA.

 1955 - Fred Sanger's publication of the Amino acid sequence of insulin.

 1964 - Robert W.Holley and colleagues published the irst nucleic acid sequence ever determined, the ribonucleotide sequence of alanine transfer RNA.

 1972 - Walter Fiers and his team at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology of the University of Ghent were the first to determine the sequence of a gene.

4) The future of genomics?

 Genomics can apply in many fields, including medicine, biotechnology, anthropology and other social sciences.

5) What is the relationship with other omics?

 I think genomics is basis of all omics. By the sequencing of DNA, the assembly of that sequence to create a representation of the original chromosome, and the annotation and analysis of that representation.

6) How can we engineer genomes?

 Sequencing - Shotgun sequencing, Sanger sequencing, high-throghput sequencing, Illumina sequencing

 Assembly - Sequence assembly
