Overview
Functional genomics is the area of genomics that seeks to understand what genes do and how their activity is regulated, rather than simply cataloging the sequence of a genome. It studies how genetic information is transcribed and translated, how gene expression is controlled, and how genes, RNAs, and proteins interact within cells and across whole organisms. To do this, functional genomics draws on high-throughput methods such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and genome-wide screens, which allow many genes and their products to be examined at once. The insights gained help researchers connect specific genes to biological processes and disease mechanisms, identify potential biomarkers, and uncover candidate targets for therapy. This page sits within a journal focused on proteomics and genomics research, a field that develops and applies high-throughput approaches to study genes, proteins, and their functions. Research in this area investigates how genetic information is expressed and how molecular components work together in health and disease, with applications in diagnostics and personalized medicine. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to functional genomics and the broader study of gene function and regulation.
