Introduction
Genomics is a revolutionary field of biology that focuses on the study of entire genomes, encompassing all of an organism s genes and their interactions. It has transformed our understanding of genetics, evolution, and disease, leading to breakthroughs in personalized medicine, agriculture, and environmental science.
History
The history of genomics can be traced back to the discovery of DNA s structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. The Human Genome Project, initiated in 1990, marked a major milestone, leading to the sequencing of the human genome. Technological advancements, such as next-generation sequencing, have accelerated genomic research.
Noteworthy Personnel
Several influential individuals have significantly contributed to the field of genomics. Dr. Craig Venter s leadership in the Human Genome Project and his pioneering work in shotgun sequencing have shaped genomics. Dr. Eric Lander s contributions to human genome mapping and analysis have been transformative.
Evolution till Date
Genomics has evolved from sequencing individual genes to high-throughput techniques that can sequence entire genomes rapidly. The field has expanded to include comparative genomics, metagenomics, epigenomics, and functional genomics. Advances in technology and bioinformatics have enabled the analysis of massive datasets.

I have completed my 6 month dissertation in NTHRYS biotech labs. The lab is adequately equipped with wonderful, attentive and receptive staff. It is a boon to the students venturing into research as well as to students who would like to garner lab exposure. I had a pleasant experience at NTHRYS thanks to Balaji S. Rao Sir for his constant support, mettle and knowledge. I would also like to give special regards to Zarin Mam for teaching me the concepts of bioinformatics with great ease and for helping me in every step of the way. I extend my gratitude to Vijaya Mam, and Sindhu Mam for helping me carry out the project smoothly.
