Document Summary
Dna rna protein: transcription then translation to a protein. Genomics- study of complete set of genes in an organism. Functional genomics- study of complete set of mrnas (transcriptome) in cell/tissue/ organisms. Proteomics- study of complete set of proteins in cell/tissue/organism. Plant because there is no cell wall/ vacuole/ chloroplast, this is also not a plant/ algal cell. Note: the chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own genomes. Environmental genomics (metagenomics)- study of collective genomes in an environment community. Human microbiome (metagenomics)- study of microbes in and on humans. Genome projects are usually large-scale collaborative efforts. We have ten times as many microbial cells in our body as human ones and though they are tiny that still means that a 200 pound man is carrying two to six pound of microbes, mostly bacteria . Glen close had her genome mapped cost is , by illumina (company leading the race in whole genome sequencing)
