difference between genetics and genomics
Genetics is the study of single genes and their effects. For example, Huntington's or Tay-Sachs disease would be considered genetics because a single gene causes these diseases, despite environmental interactions. Genomics is the study of all your genes including interactions of those genes with each other and with your environment. For example, heart disease, asthma, diabetes, and cancer would all be considered genomics because they are caused by genetic and environmental factors.
