Flashcards: Genomics

The Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) is an organization involved in the Human Genome Project, a project about mapping the human genome.

<section begin=lead />The human genome is the complete set of nucleic acid sequence for humans (Homo sapiens), encoded as DNA within the 23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within individual mitochondria.

The GenBank sequence database is an open access, annotated collection of all publicly available nucleotide sequences and their protein translations.

Personal genomics is the branch of genomics concerned with the sequencing and analysis of the genome of an individual.

In modern molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism.

Chemogenomics, or chemical genomics, is the systematic screening of targeted chemical libraries of small molecules against individual drug target families (e.g., GPCRs, nuclear receptors, kinases, proteases, etc.) with the ultimate goal of identification of novel drugs and drug targets.

Omixon is a global biotechnology company that commercializes disruptive innovations specializing in targeted applications for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).

Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP or mDIP) is a large-scale (chromosome- or genome-wide) purification technique in molecular biology that is used to enrich for methylated DNA sequences.

The Pathogen-Host Interaction database (PHI-base) contains expertly curated molecular and biological information on genes proven to affect the outcome of pathogen-host interactions.
