Summary Introduction

To review:

The prediction of the drug resistance phenotype of a microbe through genomics.

Introduction:

A genome of an organism is its complete set of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) including all its genes. Genomics is a field of biology that focuses on the structure-function, editing, and mapping of the genome. Recent advances in genomics have revolutionized discovery-based research to understand even the most complex biological systems.
