Eukaryotic Genomics

Eukaryotic genomics studies the complete set of genetic material, or DNA, in organisms with complex cell structures, like plants, animals, and fungi. Their genomes are organized into chromosomes, containing genes that carry instructions for building and maintaining life. Advances in this field help us understand how genes function, how they are inherited, and how they influence traits and health. Eukaryotic genomics combines techniques from genetics, biochemistry, and computer science to analyze large amounts of DNA data, leading to discoveries in medicine, agriculture, and evolutionary biology.
