Genomics

Utilising DNA sequencing and bioinformatics to understand the structure and function of genes and other genomic features.

Genomics or -omics specialists use DNA or RNA sequencing, bioinformatics and various chemical analysis tools to investigate genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes and metabolomes. This allows them to better understand the functionality of specific genes and/or cells.

Applications in cellular agriculture:

Working closely with geneticists, bioinformaticians and biochemists within cellular agriculture, their detailed understanding of genes and their downstream products is instrumental to the development of cell lines, growth enhancing components and media formulations.
