What is Omics?
Omics is shorthand for the collective, large-scale sciences that study genes (genOMICS), proteins (proteOMICS), and metabolites (metabolOMICS) to better understand the structure and function of cells or organisms.
But what is the difference between genetICS and genOMICS, for example? It’s about scale; genomics looks at the whole genome or thousands of genetic markers at a time. Similarly, proteomics studies include thousands of proteins at once rather than a few at a time.
