Why Genomics?

• Genetics – few marker loci

• Outcome of Human Genome Project

• Whole genome can be investigated

• employing appropriate markers:

  • Microsatellites, SNPs,
  • Candidate genes, ESTs,
  • Marker – need not be a ‘gene’
  • Inherited in a Mendelian fashion

• Appropriate Technology now available

  • PCR, Realtime PCR
  • Automated Sequencing, Microarray technology

• More exact Science @ Sequence Level

• But still requires, basic data
