General description
Genomics has many subdisciplines. According to the NIH, Genomics is the study of all of a person's genes (the genome), including interactions of those genes with each other and with the person's environment. However, Genomics also deals with the genomes of other organisms as well as their evolution. Genomics includes knowledge procuded by Genetics, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Computer Science, Statistics, Maths, Physics and so on.
Classic Genetics used to start with a mutant and then search for the gene or genes responsible for that particular phenotype. By contrast, Genomics aims at predicting the function of genes from their sequence and/or their interaction with other genes.
OMIC sciences (Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics) are top science at the moment, particularly because of bioinformatics and the new DNA-sequencing tecnologies.
