Introduction
Regulomics, a relatively new field at the intersection of genomics, bioinformatics, and systems biology, focuses on deciphering the complex regulatory networks that govern gene expression and cellular processes.
History
The roots of regulomics trace back to the dawn of genomics, as researchers began to understand that the functioning of genes is not solely determined by their sequences but by intricate regulatory mechanisms. The advent of high-throughput techniques like microarrays and next-generation sequencing expedited the study of gene regulation, providing the foundation for the field of regulomics.
Noteworthy Personnel

Eric Lander
Played a pivotal role in the Human Genome Project and later contributed to unraveling gene regulatory networks.-
Ewan Birney
An influential figure in genomics and computational biology, known for his work in deciphering the non-coding regions of the genome.
Evolution till Date
Regulomics has rapidly evolved with the advent of high-throughput sequencing, transcriptomics, and computational tools. It has transitioned from studying individual regulatory elements to deciphering entire regulatory landscapes and networks. Advances in single-cell sequencing have allowed the dissection of cellular heterogeneity and revealed nuanced regulatory patterns.

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.
