Dr Rich Scott: Genomics 101 - Genetics vs genomics, what’s the difference?

People often use the terms genetics and genomics interchangeably, but is this right?

You can also find a series of short videos explaining some of the common terms you might encounter about genomics on our YouTube channel.
