What is Genomics?
Genomics is the study of genomes including the interactions between those genes with one another.
But first we've got to know what DNA is, DNA is a chemical compound that contains insturctions to develop and direct the activites of almost all the living organisms.
Another thing we got to know is what is a Genome, a Genome is the complete set of a organisms DNA with about 3 billion DNA pairs that make up the human body.
The more reserach their is the more we fully understand how the genome functions, and discover the genetic basis for health and diseases.

We use DNA for a thing call DNA sequencing which determines the order of the bases in a strand of DNA.
The most common type of sequencing DNA polymerase which is used to make new strands of DNA from a strand.
Using the human genome sequences it is used for biomedical studies, to understand genetic varations, risk of a specific disease, or to look for cancerous cells.

The Human Genome Project, a project led by the NIH.
It's main functionality was to produce a high quility version of the human genome .
It's not just one person's genome but many consistenting of multiple indivisuals.
It was developed and used for a more broad range of biomedical studies.
But how does it affect people like us?
Well it affects people like us in many ways like first off they use it to study birth defects and limited sets of other diseases.
It is also used to study more complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.
