FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS [4 records]

Record 1 2015-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

The study of the structure and function of genes.

OBS

Genomics, coined by Thomas Roderick in 1986, refers to a new scientific discipline of mapping, sequencing, and analyzing genomes. Genomics is now undergoing, however, a transition or expansion from the mapping and sequencing of genomes to an emphasis on genome function. To reflect this shift, genome analysis may now be divided into "structural genomics" and "functional genomics. "

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
DEF

Science qui étudie la cartographie, le séquençage et l'analyse du génome.

CONT

Les années 80 permirent d'explorer l'ensemble des gènes humains, le génome, et de les répertorier. On pense qu'on connaîtra la totalité des gènes humains d'ici quelques années. Cette science est la génomique, qui demande beaucoup de travail et d'argent pour accéder à ce décryptage.

Spanish

Record 4 1999-06-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

Post-sequencing activities, such as functional genomics, are beyond the scope of the International Rice Sequencing Project. Further, the Project does not encompass the cloning and sequencing of specific rice genes for research purposes or industrial sequencing efforts. While the International Project will be happy to share information with these individual efforts, their conduct is beyond the scope of these agreements.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

Séquençage industriel. Le département de l'énergie (DOE) s'apprête à construire une véritable usine à séquencer l'ADN humain de 4 500 mètres carrés dans la baie de San Francisco. Elle devrait passer en revue quelque 20 millions de bases par an.
