Genomics

Genomics is distinct from genetics. While genetics is the study of heredity, genomics is defined as the study of genes and their functions, and affiliated ways. The main difference between genomics and genetics is that genetics scrutinizes the functioning and composition of the single gene whereas genomics addresses all genes and their inter connections in order to identify their concerted influence on the growth and development of the organism. Genomics is a forum for describing the development of genome scale technologies and their operation to all areas of natural disquisition.
