Functional genomics

As per available reports about 100 journals, 162 Conferences, 30 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to functional genomics and about 366282 articles are being published on the current trends in genomics. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to proteomics are being carried out. As reported in this article, Functional genomics is a field of molecular biology that attempts to make use of the vast wealth of data produced by genomic projects to describe gene functions and interactions. Functional genomics attempts to answer questions about the function of DNA at the levels of genes, RNA transcripts, and protein products. A key characteristic of functional genomics studies is their genome-wide approach to these questions, generally involving high-throughput methods rather than a more traditional “gene-by-gene” approach.

The Hereditary Genetics is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in functional genomics. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Hereditary Genetics provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of forestry and ecology, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.
