Genome & Genomics Explanation: The "genome" ("genoma" en español) is the full set of chromosomes: all of the inheritable traits of an organism. "Genomics" ("genómica" en español) is simply the study of genomes. There are literally thousands of pages on the subject in both English and Spanish. I've included one link in each language below. Have fun with the reading! :-) Reference: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/museum/MPL/genomics.html Reference: http://www.geocities.com/elmedico/genes.html |
