Genomics and Genetics

The study of genomics extends the knowledge of gene function from a single gene to the whole genome level. Modern genetics includes complex gene expression studies on a whole genome scale, in the fields of population genetics, disease pathogenesis etc. Our inhouse Ion Torrent Genexus facility is capable of identifying differential RNA expression, single nucleotide polymorphism and analysing soil samples for microbiome identification. While differential RNA expression and single nucleotide polymorphism are directly involved in disease pathogenesis, approaches like microbiome identification are critical to public health in terms of multi drug resistance. Ours is a consolidated approach involving all of the above-mentioned genomic tools in order to uplift the quality of life as a whole.
