Document Summary
Test with + 2 questions that deal with the syllabus*** Interactome- set of information based off the complete interactions molecules have with each other. Metabolome- set of metabolic intermediates and other small molecules produced by an organism mass spectrometry helps with this. Metagenome is the study of all genomes within a certain ecosystem (relatively large in scale). Helps gain a better understanding of the animals within the environment and how they"re related. All this helps understand organisms and how they"ve evolved. Homologous: related sequence that implies common genetic ancestry. Shows how different organisms have branched away from each other. Paralogs: genes within an organism whose similarity to one or more genes in the same organism is the result of gene duplication. Orthologs: genes found in one organism that are similar to those in another organism but differ because of speciation. Similar genes but different function. (2 different organisms)
