Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which the given phenomenon is related to genomes and proteomes.
Introduction: Genome is defined as the complete genetic material that is present in an organism. It consists of both the coding as well as the non-coding parts of DNA. The study of the genome is termed as genomics. Whereas, the complete set of proteins that an organism consists is known as proteome. Proteomics is the study of proteome on a larger scale.
