Genomics & Systems Biology(NYU Center for Genomics and Systems Biology) We are in the midst of a new revolution in biology called genomics, which has as its goal the analysis of the complete genetic material of organisms. Genomics is a rapidly emerging field, in which subdisciplines are only beginning to be defined. The area of functional genomics attempts to determine the function of genes based on high-throughput approaches, starting from the complete genomic sequences of one or more species. Within functional genomics itself, the areas most intensively studied include RNA expression analysis, large-scale mutagenesis, and cross-species comparative analysis. NYU's Center for Genomics and Systems Biology uses all of these approaches with a focus on using evolutionary insights to address biological networks. Faculty affiliated with the Center sponsors seminars and offer courses in Genomics and Bioinformatics. NYU Biology Faculty in this research area:
