Genomics: an interdisciplinary field of science within the field of molecular biology. A genome is a complete set of DNA within a single cell of an organism, and as such, focuses on the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes. Genomics aims at the collective characterization and quantification of genes, which direct the production of proteins with the assistance of enzymes and messenger molecules. Genomics also involves the sequencing and analysis of genomes.
Recently, long-read sequencing with high accuracy has become a reality. Previous technologies allowed for the detection of particular classes of genetic variation and/or have focused on pre-...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is best characterized as brain dysfunction caused by an outside force, usually a violent blow to the head, often occurring as a result of a severe sports injury...
Telomere length (TL) is widely considered a molecular/cellular hallmark of the aging process with implications for multiple diseases. While there has been success in epidemiology and genomew...
We are entering into an exciting era of genomics where truly complete, high-quality assemblies of human chromosomes are available end-to-end, or from ‘telomere-to-telomere’ (T2T)...
