Genomics and Proteomics

Genomics and Proteomics explores two key fields of molecular biology that have transformed our understanding of living organisms. Genomics focuses on the study of genes their functions and interactions involving the sequencing and analysis of DNA to uncover the genetic blueprint of life. Proteomics on the other hand delves into the study of proteins their structures functions and interactions which are the direct products of genetic expression. Together these disciplines form the backbone of modern biotechnology offering valuable insights into human health disease mechanisms and drug development. The book outlines the methodologies and technologies that have made significant strides in both fields such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) in genomics and mass spectrometry (MS) in proteomics.
