Most of this investment was in technology to speed sequencing, which in fact has been realised. Within a year, it is likely that it will be possible to read the entire DNA sequence of a human cell, in a few hours. In particular, the sequencing of complete bacterial genomes is revolutionizing the field of microbiology. As technology improves, this rate will increase. It is estimated that within the next two years, we will know the complete genomic sequence of most major pathogenic bacteria.
Genomics is simply the study of complete genomes.
More recently, genomics has meant the analysis of the complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome. This field wasn't really possible until the publication of the genome of Haemophilus influenzae in 1995. Formerly also genom -nom. The inviability of deficient genomes in the haploid generation serves to some extent as an alternative distinction between mutation and deficiency. There are two species having genoms resembling C. neglecta .
