The Genomics Revolution

The Genomics Revolution refers to the rapid advancements in the study of genomes—the complete sets of DNA within living organisms. It began in the late 20th century with the Human Genome Project, which mapped all human genes. This revolution has transformed medicine, agriculture, and biology by enabling a deeper understanding of genetic disorders, the development of personalized medications, and improved crop resilience. Techniques like CRISPR have made gene editing accessible, sparking ethical debates and potential solutions to global challenges, like diseases and food security. Overall, genomics is reshaping our approach to life sciences and healthcare.
