Before I tell you the various reasons why Genomics is a rather big boon for medication and if used in the right way can save innumerable lives. I will tell you what Genomics really is. Genomics is a discipline in genetics that is concerned with an organism’s DNA sequencing and analysis. The structure of DNA is made up of two twisting pairs of strands which are often described as double helix.DNA is made up of four chemical units called nucleotide bases which include adenine (A) ,Thymine (T),Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C). Bases on opposite pair of the strands pair precisely with specific units. An A pairs with a T and a C always pairs with a C. This pairing provides information of that particular DNA molecule. An organism’s complete set of DNA …show more content…

Bases exist in pairs and the nature of the bases in pair determines the other member of the pair and as a result scientists do not study both the bases of a pair. DNA analysis are used in a variety of places like in a crime scene to gather evidence .After gathering the DNA sample it goes to a forensic lab. Public labs are frequently joint with law enforcement offices .Genomics is related with genes and virtually every part of our body consists of some or the other basis of genes. Till recently genes were only associated with some birth defects or a limited number of diseases but with the recent development in biotechnology genes are used in treating almost every …show more content…

Diseases such as cancer, diabetes and many cardiovascular diseases constituting the majority of health problems in the world could also be eradicated from the face of the earth in a decade if this becomes the reality. Even right now genome-based research has led to many medical researchers and scientists creating improvement in the diagnostics in the medical clinic and also increasing the efficiency of the clinic. So it is safe to say that the role of genetics in medical care has changed drastically and the first examples of the era of genomic medicines are upon us. However genetics remains one of the factors of developing the most common disease but more detailed understanding of genetics can enlighten us with the basic components of the cell and eventually explain how all the elements work together in an efficient way to affect the human anatomy in both time of health and time of disorder or diseases. The study of genomics first came into existence with the start of the project Human Genome Project (HGP) in 2003. There has been much progress in Genomics since a draft research about Genomics was published more than ten years ago. Also as I
