Adam was diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, he participated in a research study in which his DNA as well as the DNA of other
s with cardiovascular disease was compared to the DNA of those who don’t have the disease, in order to pinpoint the region in the human genome connected to the disease. This type of study method is referred to as:___________
This type of study method is referred to as:__________Genomics
Explanation:
Genomics involves the mapping of all genes of an organism – this is called the genome.In addition, genomics is the study of the structure of this genome, how it functions/interactions and evolves over time. The <em>-omics</em> suffix is used to signify ‘ in totality’. This study involves the use of equipment like the high throughput DNA sequencers that sequence DNA. Genomic can be used to diagnose and study genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis & Huntington’s disease.
