Genomics is a branch of genetics that applies methods like recombinant DNA, DNA sequencing and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and research the function and structure of genomes. It involves research to analyse even the most complex biological systems. It is also involved in evaluating the entire DNA sequence of organisms and fine-scale genetic mapping.
High-impact journals are those considered to be highly influential in their respective fields. The impact factor of journal provides quantitative assessment tool for grading, evaluating, sorting and comparing journals of similar kind. It reflects the average number of citations to recent articles published in science and social science journals in a particular year or period, and is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. It is first devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information. The impact factor of a journal is evaluated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years.
