genoomilists
Genoomilists are researchers who specialize in genome-scale data analysis across biological systems, integrating genomics, transcriptomics, and meta-omics to infer functional and evolutionary relationships. They work at the intersections of biology, statistics, and computer science, building models of how genes interact within cells and how genomes change across populations and time.
The term is relatively new and is sometimes used interchangeably with genomicists who emphasize large-scale modeling
Genoomilists employ methods such as genome assembly and annotation, comparative genomics, phylogenomics, population genomics, and metagenomics,
Applications span medicine, agriculture, ecology, and biotechnology. They contribute to identifying disease variants, tracking pathogen evolution,
Ethical and governance issues accompany the field, including privacy of genomic information, consent for data use,
