Genomischer

Genomischer is a German adjective meaning genomic or relating to the genome. It is used in scientific German to describe data, methods, or features that originate from or pertain to the genome of an organism. The term is common in fields such as genomics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics.

Origin and usage notes: Genomischer is formed from Genom (genome) with the attributive ending -ischer. Like other German adjectives, its ending changes to agree with gender, number, and case. For example, ein genomischer Marker (masculine singular), genomische Daten (feminine plural), or das genomische Gen (neuter). In practice, genomischer is most often encountered in the masculine nominative or accusative position, but it follows standard German adjective declension rules.

Context and examples: The word appears in phrases such as genomischer Marker, genomische Daten, and genomische Sequenzierung, reflecting concepts at the scale of the entire genome. It helps distinguish genome-wide features or technologies from other biological scales, such as molekularer or zellulärer levels. In English-language texts the equivalent term is genomic, but in German it is common to see the explicit variant genomisch or genomischer depending on grammatical context.
