Genetics and Genomics Functional Genomics

Functional genomics is the study of the relationships between gene functions and their interactions to help better understand their role in the development and health of an organism. Functional genomics combines traditional methods such as genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology with modern tools from bioinformatics to gain a comprehensive understanding of how genes work. This cutting-edge research helps shed light on the genetic basis of diseases, helps to identify new gene targets for pharmaceutical development, improves our understanding of the evolution of organisms, and provides valuable insight into environmental adaptations.
