| Description
| What is a genome? What can genomes tell us about living things?
What information is stored in genomes, and how? How and why do we study the structure of genomes?
How do our cells make proteins, and why are proteins important? How do mutations in the genome change living things? How do we study the ways in which proteins work together?
How can one genome produce many different types of cells? How does a gene influence development or adaptation? How can we use our understanding of genes to heal wounds and grow crops?
What biological mechanisms enable environmental factors to influence living things? What is epigenetics? How do we study the mechanisms that control gene activity?
What is the microbiome? What does genomics have to do with our future food supply? How can we counteract the negative effects of social stress?
