Protein synthesis

Proteins are very important biomolecules. They serve as structural components, enzymes and hormones. The cell needs to synthesize ne protein molecules. The process of protein synthesis includes transcription and translation. The process of copying of genetic information from one (template) strand of DNA into a single stranded RAN transcript, is termed as transcription. During this process, synthesis of complementary strand of RNA takes place (Except that the Adenine nitrogen base pairs with the Uracil base instead of Thymine).

GENOMICS

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.
