Abstract
The field of genomics is interdisciplinary, and it is defined as the study of genes present in an organism along with the various techniques involved. It studies the functions, structures, map**, and various techniques that are used to edit genomes. Genome, on the other hand, is defined as the information repository of an organism. It is the entire set of genetic information that is important for the proper functioning of the living being over its period of life. Genomes include the genes that are coding in nature as well as the noncoding DNA, mitochondrial DNA, as well as the DNA of the chloroplast.
