Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is false. Genomics is a relatively new technology compared to other biotechnologies from the past and it started around the 1970s when Frederick Sanger developed the first sequencing technique to sequence the entire genome. There were many discoveries prior to this such as the discovery of the structure of DNA and its bases. The Human Genome Project was launched in 1990 with the goal to sequence the entire human genome and was completed in 2003. Since then there have been many advancements in DNA sequencing technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS).
