Genomics

Real World Example

Imagine trying to organize a massive collection of jigsaw puzzles, each with thousands of pieces, and figuring out which pieces belong to which puzzle. This task is similar to genomics, where scientists study and compare entire genomes to understand how they fit together and differ from one another. Just as you would sort and examine each piece to identify patterns, colors, and shapes to assemble the correct puzzle, genomics involves identifying genes and genetic sequences to understand the structure and function of an organism's complete set of DNA.
