Document Summary

Genomics: study of the genome, the entire dna genetic material of an organism. Metagenomics: study of aggregate genomes from a complex of organisms (e. g. from a gut microbiome) Transcriptomics: study of the transcriptome , all rnas expressed in a cell. E. g. protein to protein, protein to nucleic acid, protein to ligand. Uses the info from genome sequencing to describe gene and protein functions and interactions. Proteomics: study of the proteome , all the proteins of an organism and their interactions. Metabolomics: study of the metabolome , all metabolic pathways and intermediates in an organism. Interactomics: study of the interactome , all interactions of an organism. Structural genomics = study of gene structure, genome (cytological, physical, genetic) mapping and chromosome sequencing. Comparative genomics = study of genomic evolution, comparison of genomes of different organisms. Functional genomics = study of gene function, analysis of the transcriptome and the proteome. Structural genomics cytological mapping chromosome staining, karyotype and fish.
