  • Genomics
    • Our understanding of DNA has lead to many advances in science
      • The prospect of gene therapy
      • DNA profiling used in forensic crime seen analysis
      • Genetic engineering
      • Genomic sequencing and comparative gene mapping
    • The study of genetic information by looking at DNA base sequences that occur in a particular species
    • Coding DNA codes for the production of proteins and polypeptides. Non coding DNA is often referred to as 'Junk DNA' HOWEVER this name is misleading as non coding DNA carries out a number of regulatory functions
