Genomics is the study of an organism's genome and the use of the genes. It deals with the systematic use of genome information, associated with other data, to provide answers in biology, medicine, and industry.
Genomics has the potential of offering new therapeutic methods for the treatment of some diseases, as well as new diagnostic methods. For example, for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, a genomic test called Oncotype DX assesses a patient’s individual risk of breast cancer recurrence and likely benefit from chemotherapy, which can help doctors make more informed and more personalized treatment decisions. Other applications are in the food and agriculture sectors.
The major tools and methods related to genomics are bioinformatics, genetic analysis, measurement of gene expression, and determination of gene function.
