Genetics and Genomics Functional Genomics
Functional genomics is the study of the genetic makeup and the functions of genes and how they are regulated. It is the study of how genetic information is expressed and how it interacts with other aspects of the cell, such as protein and RNA expression. It is used to understand disease mechanisms, identify biomarkers, develop therapeutic targets and explore therapeutic approaches. The study of functional genomics is integral to personalized medicine, as it allows for the assessment of genetic variations and their effects on the function of multiple genes. This field of research is important for understanding how genetic variants can impact disease and provides researchers with the tools to develop new treatments and diagnostics.
