Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional genomics is the study of gene function and how genes interact with each other and the environment. One of the primary goals of functional genomics is to assign functions to the products of genes, which is achieved through a variety of experimental techniques and computational analyses. While functional genomics can also involve comparing genes in different organisms, this is not a primary focus of the field. Similarly, while functional genomics can involve studying regulatory sequences, such as promoters and enhancers, this is not the only aspect of gene function studied by the field.
