Genetics and genomics both play roles in health and disease. Genetics refers to the study of genes and the way that certain traits or conditions are passed down from one generation to another. Genomics describes the study of the entirety of an individual's genes (the genome).

Genetics is a term that refers to the study of genes and their roles in inheritance - in other words, the way that certain traits or conditions are passed down from one generation to another. Genetics involves scientific studies of genes and their effects. Genomics is a more recent term that describes the study of all a person's genes (the genome), including interactions of those genes with each other and with the person's environment.
