Genomics is a relatively modern discipline, which is developed from the achievements of recombinant DNA technology and new sequencing methods and bioinformatic approaches. Thanks to these methodologies, it is possible to carry out genomic scans that allow a comprehensive understanding of the organism and the processes of inheritance, especially in complex characters. Genetics and genomics provide knowledge for the development of new biotechnological products, new drugs, the improvement of human and animal health, the conservation and management of plants and animals, the control of parasites and microorganisms, as well as the understanding of the evolutionary phenomena of the past and present of all living organisms.
