5 important questions on Genomes and genomics - The genomics revolution

A large team of researchers making a concerted effort clone and sequence the entire genome of a selected organism

Genome project

Forwards or reverse approach?
The analysis begins by first screening for mutants that affect some observable phenotype, and the characterization of these mutants eventually leads to the identification of the gene and the function of DNA, RNA, and protein sequences.

Forwards

The analysis of the information content of entire genomes. This information includes the numbers and types of genes and gene products as well as the location, number, and types of binding sites on DNA and RNA that allow functional products to be produced at the correct time and place.
