Capitalizing on Genomics’ Huge Potential
The genomics space will only continue to grow as biotechnological advances keep fueling the industry. An Investing.com article spoke to the industry’s potential best:
“While initially, it might be hard to fully wrap your head around the concept of genomics, it’s easy to understand that companies in the industry have huge potential. A genome is an organism’s complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. Therefore, genomics is a field of biology that involves studying all of a person’s genes and trying to determine their interactions and influence on a person’s health. The applications of genomics are truly fascinating, as scientists can potentially use the information from genomics to help humans live longer and healthier lives.”
