10 Put a mark by each of following that is a true about Geno

10. Put a mark by each of following that is a true about Genomics and Bioinformatics. (8 points) Genomics concerns itself only with the human genome. Genomics today includes computer technology to analyze DNA sequences stored in large databases. Bioinformatics today includes comparison of genes from multiple species. Genomics is a new technology that started after 2010.

Solution

Genomics concerns itself only with the human genome = FALSE

Genomics is concerned with sequencing of variety of living organisms. So far genomes of different types of organisms have been sequeced which includes bacteria E. Coli, C. Elegans, Arabidopsis thaliana, Yeast, Drosophilla and humans.

Genomics today includes computer technology to analyze DNA sequences stored in large databases = TRUE.

Bioinformatics involves use of computer data bases for the storage of genetic information. It connects biological sciences with computers.

Bioinformatics today includes comparison of genes from multiple species = TRUE.

In bioonformatics genomes of different organisms are compared to study about the differences in genetic make up different organisms.

Genomics is a new technology that started after 2010 = FALSE.

Term genome was coined by Hans winkler in 1926 and the term genomics was coined by Thomas Roderick in 1986.

This field of biological science emerged in 1990s.
