"Omics" pertains to disciplines in the field of biology that end in "
-omics" such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and the like.
The molecular data were gleaned from various "
-omics" techniques, including:
Over the last decade, high-throughput experiments studying
-omics (e.g., genetics, epigenetics, or transcriptomics) have been used to generate informative data researchers can use to test different data-driven hypotheses.
Toxicology and genetic toxicology in the new era of "toxicogenomics": impact of "
-omics" technologies.
In the midst of a growing shift toward translational studies in today's biomedical research scene, yet another "
-omics" science has come to the fore.
Contributors from a wide range of biomedical sciences explore applications of the
-omics approach to the gray zone between food and medicine.
Among the technical needs outlined were improvements in the temporal, spatial, and quantitative resolving power of "
-omics" techniques.
Technological advances--for example, "
-omics" technologies (genomics, proteomics, metabonomics, etc.); molecular, cellular, and whole animal imaging methodologies; miniaturized tools/technologies (i.e., at the micro- and nanolevel); and improved cyber-infrastructure and bioinformatics tools to gather, assimilate, and interrogate large diverse data sets--have the capacity to stimulate interdisciplinary research.
In large measure, proteomics has emerged in parallel fashion with the other "
-omics" fields such as transcriptomics and metabonomics.
