1. What is genomics?
Keyword(s):
The term ‘genome’ is used to refer to the sum total of DNA inside the single or multiple cells that make up an organism. Complex organisms often have more than one genome. ‘What is genomics?’ looks at the biology of the two main types of cells—prokaryotes and eukaryotes—and explains the double-helix structure of DNA. There are four bases in DNA—adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T)—and their specific chemical characteristics govern how the two strands of the double helix interact. To completely sequence an organism’s genome is to determine the precise order of all of the As, Cs, Gs, and Ts in its DNA.
