Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following is not a subdivision of functional genomics. Let's recall what we know about what functional genomics is to figure out which of the following is not a subdivision of functional genomics. So we know that functional genomics is an approach used to study the function expression and interactions of genes and proteins. And it contains three subdivisions which are transcriptome mix, which is the study of the sequence and expression of RNA transcript proteomics, which is the study of the cellular expression of proteins and lastly interact oh Mix, which is the study of physical interactions between DNA RNA and proteins. And so looking at the following options, which one is not one of the subdivisions listed here. And that means that answer choice B comparative genomics is the correct answer because it is not a subdivision of functional genomics since they are transcript ah mix proteomics and interact atomics. Thus making answer choice B the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
