Question

Distinguish between structural and functional genomics

Answer 1

Functional genomics- this is a field of study which co-relates the structure and sequence of the genome to its function. In this field the information provided by structure genomics is used to study the function of genes or protein in a systematic manner.

Structural Genomics- In structural genomics, one studies the sequence-structure relationship of a genome. It represents an initial phase of genome analysis which involves creating high resolution genetic physical and transcript maps and ultimately sequencing the genome. Because of rapid advances in the field of proteomics the study of three dimension structure of all proteins has also become easier because of structural genomics.

hope it help you!

Answer 2

Answer:

Structural genomics deals with the proteins produced by an organism while functional genomics studies the gene expression patterns in an organism.structural genomics deals with the determination of the complete sequence of genomes while functional genomics studies the functioning of genes and metabolic pathways.
