Define the following and state the techniques used for the study of the following_a) Genomics b) Proteomics c) Transcriptomics d) Metabolomics e) Phenomics Genomics is an interdisciplinary field of science focusing on the structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes. A genome is an organism's complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. In contrast to genetics, which refers to the study of individual genes and their roles in inheritance, genomics aims at the collective characterization and quantification of genes, which direct the production of proteins with the assistance of enzymes and messenger molecules. Proteomics involves the study of the structure of all proteins encoded in a fully sequenced genome which is also referred as proteomos. Frederick Sanger and Walter Gilbert shared half of the 1980 Nobel Prize in chemistry for independently developing methods for the sequencing of DNA.
