Molecular Basis of Inheritance — BIOLOGY STD 12 Science — Question

→ Deriving meaningful knowledge from the DNA sequences will define research through the coming decades leading to our understanding of biological systems.
→ This enormous task will require the expertise and creativity of tens of thousands of scientists from varied disciplines in both the public and private sectors worldwide.
→ One of the greatest impacts of having the HG sequence may well be enabling a radically new approach to biological research.
→ In the past, researchers studied one or a few genes at a time. With whole-genome sequences and new high-throughput technologies, we can approach questions systematically and on a much broader scale.
→ They can study all the genes in a genome, for example, all the transcripts in a particular tissue or organ or tumor, or how tens of thousands of genes and proteins work together in interconnected networks to orchestrate the chemistry of life.
