Proteomics and Genomics

Proteomics and genomics are complementary fields that provide a comprehensive understanding of biological systems. Genomics involves the study of an organism’s entire genetic material (DNA), helping identify genes, mutations, and their roles in health and disease. Proteomics, on the other hand, focuses on the full set of proteins expressed by a genome, including their structures, functions, and interactions. Together, they offer insights into how genetic information is translated into functional molecules and how changes at the DNA level affect cellular behavior. Their importance lies in advancing personalized medicine, biomarker discovery, and the development of targeted therapies for complex diseases.
