Genomes"Genome"is the total genetic information of an organism. For most organisms, it is the complete DNA sequence. For RNA viruses, the genome is the complete RNA sequence, since their genetic information is encoded in RNA. Table 3-H-1. The genomes of prominent organisms.
* 1 Mb = 1 million base pairs (for double-stranded DNA or RNA) or 1 million bases (for single-stranded DNA or RNA).

Proteomics"Proteomics" is the study of "proteome", which contains all proteins in a cell at a particular time. While all cells in an organism have the same genome, they usually have different proteomes. Sites of Interest:
