Functional Genomics
+ Investigate gene function using mutations
+ Insertional mutagenesis
+ Reverse genetics (genotype known > identify phenotype)
Transcriptomics
+ Genome-wide analysis of gene expression
+ Highly automated process
Proteomics
+ Study of proteome (total protein complement of genome)
+ Functional outcome of gene expression
Metabolomics
+ Study of chemical constituents of cells using analytical chemistry
+ Intermediates and products of metabolism
Tripartite Genome
+ Nucleus (nDNA)
+ Chloroplast (ctDNA)
+ Mitochondria (mtDNA)
