Genomics: This is the study of an organism's entire genome or all its genes. It's like having access to all blueprints for every building in a city.
Transcription: This is the process where information in a strand of DNA is copied into new molecules of messenger RNA. It's similar to how a project manager takes plans from a blueprint and communicates them to his team.
Translation: This is when RNA directs protein synthesis. It's like when construction workers follow instructions from their project manager to build parts of a skyscraper.
