The term genomics is defined here as the comprehensive study of the genetic information of a cell or organism, including the function of specific genes, their interactions with each other and the activation and suppression of genes. For ease of reference, it includes related disciplines such as bioinformatics, epigenomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, proteomics and transcriptomics.
