OMICS! Flashcards
Proteomics
The analysis of all the proteins in a cell or tissue
Metabolomics
the analysis of proteins and enzymatic pathways involved in cell metabolism
glycomics
the analysis of the carbohydrates of a cell or tissue
toxicogenomics
the study of the effects of toxic chemicals on genes, including mutations created by toxins and changes in gene expression caused by toxins
metagenomics
the analysis of genomes of organisms collected from the environment
pharmacogenomics
the development of customized medicine based on a person’s genetic profile for a particular condition
transcriptomics
the analysis of all expressed genes in a cell or tissue
Comparative genomics
compares the genomes of different organisms to answer questions about genetics and other aspects of biology
What type of chemical analysis has been instrumental in the development of proteomics?
Mass Spectrometry
Proteomics can be used to determine differences between the number of genes in a genome and _________
And the number of different proteins produced
Systems biology incorporates data from genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics to establish a course of interaction between all the components of an organisms cells. This is known as an ___________
Interactome
