Genomics

Question 1

Genome

Answer 1

-The genome of an organism is the entire hereditary information encoded in the DNA
-a genome is made up of genes and the other DNA sequences that do not code for a protein

Question 2

Genomic Sequencing

Answer 2

-In genomic sequencing the sequences of bases can be identified for individual genes or entire genomes
-Computer programs can be used to identify base sequences by looking for sequences similar to known genes

Question 3

Bioinformatic

Answer 3

to compare sequence data, computer and statistical analysis are required

Question 4

Personal genome

Answer 4

An individual genome can be analysed to predict the likelihood developing certain diseases

Question 5

Pharmacogenetics

Answer 5

cure of genome information in the choice of drugs

Question 6

Personalized medicine

Answer 6

An individual personal genome sequence can be sued to select the most effective drug and dosage to treat their disease
-This would increase drug efficiency which reduces side effect and the ‘one size fits all’ would be history.
