Abstract
Genomics is the science of understanding structure, function, and evolution of genomes in all forms of life. It is an application of genomic data using biotechnologies, to solve challenging problems of biology and medicine. Genomics in Bioinformatics have concentrated on few of the model organisms, and the analysis of regulatory systems. Structural genomics discusses structures of the protein products of genomes, by revealing similarities to proteins of known structure. The current interest of research community lies in getting complete genome sequences for different organisms as a Landmark achievement of completion of HGP–Human Genome Project, which sequence all the present genes of human DNA.
Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
Carl Sagan (1934–1996)
