HW for Genomics KYY

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

Discipline in genetics that applies recombinant DNA, DNA sequencing methods, and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and analyze the function and structure of genomes

 

2. What is the origin of genomics?

Genome + -omics

-Genome: In modern molecular biology and genetics, the genome is the genetic material of an organism.

-omics: A field of study in biology

 

The term genomics was coined by Tom Roderick, a geneticist at the Jackson Laboratory.

 

3. History of genomics?

Early sequencing efforts -> DNA-sequencing technology developed -> Complete genomes -> The "omics" revolution 

 

4. The future of genomics?

Genomics can be applied to a lot of fields, such as describing gene function, determination of protein structure or even health. Thus I think Genomics has a bright future.

 

5. What is the relationship with other omics?

There are

 

6. How can we engineer genomes?
