Genomics is one of the main branches of biotechnology science that uses laboratory techniques to extract gene and genetics related information for comparing, analyzing and understanding how genes work during environmental change and genetic disorders.

Genomics is the study of whole genomes of organisms, and incorporates elements from genetics. Genomics uses a combination of recombinant DNA, DNA sequencing methods, and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and analyze the structure and function of genomes.
