Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which is a field devoted to creating and maintaining database about the gene sequences of organisms?

A	bioinformatics
B	genomics
C	pharmacogenomics
D	proteomics

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -’Genomics’ – the field of study that generates genomic data – refers to the study of the entire set of DNA that is contained within (human) chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is GenBank? GenBank ® is the NIH genetic sequence database, an annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences (Nucleic Acids Research, 2013 Jan; 41(D1):D36-42).

Detailed explanation-3: -What is genomics? Genomics is the study of the total or part of the genetic or epigenetic sequence information of organisms, and attempts to understand the structure and function of these sequences and of downstream biological products.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bioinformatics is an emerging branch of biological science that emerged from the combination of both biology and information technology. It is an interdisciplinary field of study that uses Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science that have merged to form a single discipline.
