Secondly, there is an increasing understanding of the relationship between molecular structure and biological function, so called functional genomics, which is revealing many new gene-based targets for drug discovery.

I don't understand why these folks doing research in something called genomics get to behave as if what they do is completely apolitical, when, if I remember correctly from the Bitch magazine archive in my brain, Joan Roughgarden (author of Evolution's Rainbow) argued that it was difficult for her research to be taken seriously or funded because it challenges gender assumptions at work at least in her field, biology.

Prolagus commented on the word genomics
The American Heritage Dictionary definition above is misleading and ultimately incorrect, in that it assumes that only eukaryotic nuclear DNA (the one that forms chromosomes) is the study object of genomics - therefore excluding mitochondrial, chloroplast, prokaryotic, and viral DNA genomes.
