"Genomics is the study of genes and their functions. Recent advances in genomics are bringing about a revolution in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of disease, including the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Genomics is also stimulating the discovery of breakthrough healthcare products by revealing thousands of new biological targets for the development of drugs, and by giving scientists innovative ways to design new drugs, vaccines and DNA diagnostics. Genomics-based therapeutics include 'traditional' small chemical drugs, protein drugs, and potentially gene therapy.

This dictionary provides definition regarding the new and rapidly changing subject of genomics, a rapidly exploding field exploring the complete genome sequence of a variety of organisms. This dictionary is useful for professionals in the field of biology and genomics."
