Genomics : The term Genome (introduced by H. Winkler in 1920) is the total genetic constitution of an organism. Alternatively, it is a complete copy of genetic information (DNA) or one complete set of chromosomes (monoploid or haploid) of an organism. The term Genomics (term coined by T.H. Roderick in 1986) is the study of genomes through analysis, sequencing and mapping of genes along with the study of their functions.

The discovery of DNA

Modern understanding of DNA has evolved from the discovery of nucleic acid to the development of the double-helix model. In 1869, Friedrich Miescher began working with white blood cells which are the major component of pus from infections. He collected a lot of pus from bandages at the local hospital. He used a salt solution to wash the pus off the bandages. When he added a weak alkaline solution to the cells. The cells lysed and nuclei precipitated out of the solution. From the cell nuclei he isolated a unique chemical substance to which he called nuclein. Chemically, nuclein has high phosphorus content. Moreover it showed acidic properties. Hence it was named as nucleic acid.        By the early 1900s, we knew that Miescher’s nuclein was a mix (mixture) of proteins and nucleic acids. There are two kinds of nucleic acids DNA (deoxyribonuclic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
