teadusharu, milles bioloogiliste probleemide uurimiseks kasutatakse mh bioinformaatika vahendeid ja uuritakse tervikgenoome, et mõista nende struktuuri, funktsiooni, evolutsiooni ning neid kaardistada
branch of molecular biology concerned with the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes
the branch of molecular genetics concerned with the study of genomes, specifically the identification and sequencing of their constituent genes and the application of this knowledge in medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, etc
A major part of genomics is determining the sequence of molecules that make up the genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content of an organism. The genomic DNA sequence is contained within an organism’s chromosomes, one or more sets of which are found in each cell of an organism. The chromosomes can be further described as containing the fundamental units of heredity, the genes.
In many fields research is impossible without access to supercomputers, analytical facilities, radiation sources for new materials, clean rooms and advanced metrology for nanotechnologies, specially equipped labs for biological and medical research, databases for genomics and social sciences, observatories and sensors for the Earth sciences and the environment, high-speed broadband networks for transferring data, etc.
