1. Brief Overview of Macromolecules DNA, RNA, and Proteins

2. What is “genomics”? --The systematic study of the genome using large-scale DNA sequencing, gene-expression analysis, or computational methods. Genome: the total complement of genes contained in a cell or virus, commonly used to refer to all genes present in one complete haploid set of chromosomes in eukaryotes.

4. DNA Structure Base / nucleotide pair: a pair of nitrogenous bases, most commonly one purine and one pyrimidine, held together by hydrogen bonds in a double stranded region of a nucleic acid molecule.
