Phenomics is the study of phenotypes, the observable characteristics of organisms shaped by genetics and environment. It's pivotal in linking genetic variations to traits, aiding in agricultural improvements and personalized medicine. The field utilizes high-throughput phenotyping and genetic screening to explore the genetic basis of traits and diseases, contributing to our understanding of evolutionary biology.

Definition of Phenomics
Study of phenotypes systematically to understand organism characteristics from genotype-environment interaction.
01
Meaning of Phenome
Complete set of phenotypes expressed by an organism throughout its life.
02
Phenomics vs. Genomics
Phenomics analyzes observable traits; genomics studies the genetic code itself.
