Different types of Biological Data.

  • Genomics data: This is a whole human genome content, which specifically makes us who we are.

  • Proteomics data: Data derived from the study of protein which is a vital part of living organisms.

  • Metagenomics Data: Genetic data derived from environmental samples, its also called environmental genomics, these include soil samples, insects e.t.c.

  • Transcriptomics Data: In-depth data derived from genomics data.

These Data are also called Omic Data.

What questions do these data answer?

Have you ever wondered why these data are important?

  • Why a particular plant grows in an area and not in another

  • Is there a kindness gene in human

  • why a particular drug doesn't work for you or why you aren't responding to a treatment
