Genomics
Genomics is one of the most exciting and fruitful areas of research in the 21st century. Genome and transcriptome sequencing can be used to identify variants associated with disease, to determine how an organism responds to disease or drug treatment, to identify organisms (e.g. in a microbiome), and to track pathogens during disease outbreaks.
