Genomics Defined

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Genomics studies an organism's entire genome: its complete gene set, sequence, organization, and interactions.

Show

Comparing every gene on every chromosome of one organism, not one gene alone, is a genomic-scale study.

Watch for

Genomics is not a synonym for genetics: genetics studies individual genes and inheritance, genomics studies the genome as a system.
