What is genomics?
Without knowing it, you probably already know a little about genomics. For example, you have probably heard about DNA and genes in the media. You are probably aware that you have inherited many of the traits of your ancestors. These traits are dictated by our genes and organized in our cells in the form of chromosomes. Genomics is all about that and much more!
Have you ever visited a genomics laboratory?
For the first time in Canada, Génome Québec is opening the doors of its Centre d’expertise et de services.
