Document Summary
Biol 1010 lecture 8 homework: define and explain: Goals: identify all the genes in human dna, determine the sequence of the 3 billion nucleotides that make up human dna, store the information in publicly accessible databases. How it was done: dna samples were collected from several anonymous volunteers, dna was distributed to genome centers around the world, researchers performed mapping sequencing and analysis using specialized equipment, sequences were placed into a central database. Genomics: the study of functions and interactions of all the genes in the genome, including their interactions with environmental factors. Gene-environment-host interactions that leads to disease or disease prevention in populations. Proteomics: the study of proteomes and their functions. Proteome is all the proteins in a cell, tissue or individual. Metabolomics: the study of the set of metabolites present within an organism, cell or tissue. Metabolome is all the small molecule components of a cell, tissue or individual that are produced by the proteins of the proteome.
