# Introduction to Basic Principles ## Genomics vs Genetics ### Genomics - The study of an organism’s complete set of genetic information. - The genome includes both genes (coding) and non-coding DNA. - **'Genome'**: the complete genetic information of an organism. ### Genetics - The study of heredity. - The study of the function and composition of single genes. - **'Gene'**: specific sequence of DNA that codes for a functional molecule. --- ### Impact of Human Genome Project on Healthcare *Image source: www.genomicsforeveryone.org* --- *Note: Content is sourced from Genomics Education, Health Education England and LSBU.*
