Bioinformatics, Genomics

Bioinformatics, Genomics:

Genomics is the study of the entire genome of species (the sum of all genes of an organism) and their interaction with eachother, in contrast the study of a single gene is the role of molecular biology and genetics.
the study of genomes includes the DNA, RNA, Proteines levels.

recently there have been extensive sequencing projects of species genomes like the HGP (Human Genome Project) and a lot of other species (animals, insects, bacteria, viruses...etc).

You can find human genome sequences and many other species in the
UCSC Genome Browser
you'll find it a little complicated first but you'll get familiar with it very fast.

the UCSC Genome Browser contains now more than 45 complete genomes.

With the huge amount of sequences provided by sequencing projects, there is no way one can analyse it without the use of Bioinformatics tools, well thats good for us because if we have more than 3 billion pb that our brains will explode by reaching the 30 base!!!

Any questions or comments, you're welcome.
