Genomics :

of genomes.

"... a discipline in genetics concerning the study of the genomes of organisms. The field
includes efforts to determine the entire DNA sequence of organisms and fine-scale genetic mapping efforts. ..it also includes
studies of intragenomic phenomena such asheterosis, epistasis, pleiotropy and other interactions between loci and alleles
within the genome. In contrast, the investigation of the roles and functions of single genes is a primary focus of molecular
biology or genetics and is a common topic of modern medical and biological research. Research of single genes does not fall
into the definition of genomics unless the aim of this genetic, pathway, and functional information analysis is to elucidate
its effect on, place in, and response to the entire genome's networks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genomics
