genesis();

This is what happens when you call the genesis() function:

function genesis() {
	get_header();

	genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap();
	?>
	<div id="content-sidebar-wrap">
		<?php genesis_before_content(); ?>
		<div id="content" class="hfeed">
			<?php
				genesis_before_loop();
				genesis_loop();
				genesis_after_loop();
			?>
		</div><!-- end #content -->
		<?php genesis_after_content(); ?>
	</div><!-- end #content-sidebar-wrap -->
	<?php
	genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap();

	get_footer();
}
