Genomics is a very popular project today.  We should know about the project, so whenever some one mention about it, we would know what he/she is talking about.  Genomics is a very broad field; therefore I will narrow it down to Mathematical and Genomics.
 

        Before reading about genomics, it would help to know some of the specialized term they used for this project
 
 

After you finish reading the glossary, you are probably tired. Therefore, take a break, bet on these dogs.
Guess which one will win?????


These are where I got the images from:

1/   Subcellular molecular dynamics and control of cell behaviour. This
    topic focuses on the behaviour of molecular systems that lead to
    periodic behaviour, e.g., in cells and in hormonal systems, bifurcation,
    or other dynamical results that are closely linked with the function of
    the cell. Signal transduction and calcium dynamics with their
    implications for cellular behaviour, as well as cellular and intra-
    cellular oscillations and feedback will form the main theme.
2/    The cellular cytoskeleton. The role that mathematicians who have
    studied detailed experimental systems have played in understanding the
    details of the cell will be highlighted. An example is the detailed
    demonstration of the involvement of various parts of the structure of
    the cytoskeleton in key steps of the developmental process of a
    drosophila embryo.

3/    Molecular motors to muscle motion. The mathematical analysis of
    molecular motors and the role which such analysis plays in understanding
    the way that molecular motors work will be described. Experimental
    biologists have studied muscles for some time, and they now are
    developing an understanding of how motor aggregates (myosin) arrayed
    along a one dimensional filament work cooperatively to produce muscle
    motion.

4/    Biotechnology applications of cell biology. Cellular components can be
    used in designing articificial skin grafts, and artificial vessels. The
    understanding of the interactions of cells with their molecular
    components and extracellular matrix is vital to success in biomedical
    applications. A particular problem is how the cytoskeleton dynamics
    affects signal transduction.

5/    Cell-surface receptors, the cytoskeleton, and cell division. Two topics
    will be discussed. One topic will focus on the way that cells sense
    their environment and respond to incoming signals. Cell-surface
    receptors are important and experiments and models for the diffusional
    and interaction dynamics of such systems have been developed. The second
    topic is on the problem of cytokinesis, cell-division, and how the cell
    accomplishes this complex task. Numerical simulations of the dynamics of
    the cytoskeleton have been carried out.

6/    Cell motion and interaction: models and visualization. The important
    problem of cell motion from the point of view of many cells, cell
    aggregates, and interactions of cells with one another and with their
    environment will be discussed. Models have been developed for cell
    motion, chemotaxis, and interactions, including immunological networks.
    New computational techniques, e.g., immersed boundary methods, can be
    used to show the motions and and interactions of cells, e.g., in models
    of biofilms
