Several techniques are utilized in functional genomics, including:
Gene expression profiling - measures the activity of thousands of genes at once to create a global picture of cellular function. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) - provides insights into the quantity and sequences of RNA in a sample. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) - used to investigate the interaction between proteins and DNA in the cell. Proteomics - the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. Metabolomics - the study of chemical processes involving metabolites.
