It is possible to learn more about an individuals ancestry, medical conditions, and phenotypic markers by studying their genome. Genomics also studies the ways in which genes interact with each other, such as oncogenes. This helps us gain a better understanding of the mechanism of chronic illnesses and how best to combat them. Another aspect of genomics is how genes interact with their environment. Recent research of how genes are affected by radiation on the International Space Station have helped us to understand the long term effects that space travel may have on the human body.
-Genomics is also an essential tool in Forensics, as DNA is often left behind at crime scenes. Modern genomic tools can solve cases years past, as demonstrated in the prolific Golden State Killer case, of which an article is linked below. ]]> 2020-09-30 15:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/breanamarie27/ckmeuvgfh7bseqoa/wish/791669008 breanamarie27 https://padlet.com/breanamarie27/ckmeuvgfh7bseqoa/wish/791671534 Genomics can be used in microbiology to sequence the genetic material of microbes such as bacteria, single-cell eukaryotes, protozoans, and even viruses. By identifying the genetic material of these microorganisms, we can determine the location, function, size, and evolution of their genes, and see how alleles correlate or distinguish from one another within species and between different species. We can also see how genes mutate over time and how their function changes to adapt to new environments. Knowing how genetic material works, scientists can utilize this information to invent medications against viruses or bacteria, or one can identify a desirable genotype and transfer a specific sequence to another organism so it can exhibit the desired phenotype.]]> 2020-09-30 15:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/breanamarie27/ckmeuvgfh7bseqoa/wish/791671534 breanamarie27 https://padlet.com/breanamarie27/ckmeuvgfh7bseqoa/wish/791771730 The entirety of an organism's genetic material, including coding and non-coding genes.]]> 2020-09-30 15:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/breanamarie27/ckmeuvgfh7bseqoa/wish/791771730 breanamarie27 https://padlet.com/breanamarie27/ckmeuvgfh7bseqoa/wish/791811641 Breana Bouyear
