Details: Genetics is the study of genes and the information carried on individual genes. While genetics studies individual genes, Genomics looks at all the genes in an organism and how, together with environmental factors, they affect growth and development. Cutting-edge medical research uses Genomics to create individualized treatment plans. Using Genomics, doctors and scientists can, for example, determine the best ways to keep people at high risk for certain types of cancer from actually developing the disease. Proteomics is the study of proteins.
