genomic
Concerning hereditary material
Genomic relates to the genome—an organism's complete set of genetic material.
The term appears in scientific and medical contexts: genomic sequencing, genomic medicine, genomic data.
While genetic refers broadly to genes and heredity, genomic specifically concerns the entire genome as a unit of study or analysis.
