List of omics topics in biology

Inspired by the terms genome and genomics, other words to describe complete biological datasets, mostly sets of biomolecules originating from one organism, have been coined with the suffix -ome and -omics. Some of these terms are related to each other in a hierarchical fashion. For example, the genome contains the ORFeome, which gives rise to the transcriptome, which is translated to the proteome. Other terms are overlapping and refer to the structure and/or function of a subset of proteins (e.g. glycome, kinome).

An omicist is a scientist who studies omeomics, cataloging all the “omics” subfields.[1]

Omics.org is a Wiki that collects and alphabetically lists all the known "omes" and "omics."[2]

Embryome Embryomics Cell lineages of embryonic cells, genes expressed and antigens present during development Embryology
Envirome Enviromics Gene related environment factors (envirome)
Environmental DNA Environmental omics Sequencing of ambient DNA
Epigenome Epigenomics Epigenetic modifications Molecular genetics Epigenomics is the study of the complete set of epigenetic modifications on the genetic material of a cell, collectively known as the epigenome
Exposome (2005) Exposomics An individual's environmental exposures, including in the prenatal environment Molecular genetics A proposed term and field of study of the disease-causing effects of environmental factors (the "nurture" component of "nature vs. nurture").[5]
Exposome (2009) Composite occupational exposures and occupational health problems Occupational safety and health The proposers of this term were aware of the previous term as used above but proposed to apply the term to a new field.[6][7]
Exome Exomics Exons in a genome Molecular Genetics
Foodome Foodomics Food and Nutrition issues related to bioactivity, quality, safety and traceability of foods through the application and integration of advanced omics technologies to improve consumer's well-being, health, and confidence. Nutrition The term was first defined in 2009[8]
Genome Genomics
(Classical genetics)
Genes
(DNA sequences/Chromosomes)
Genetics "Genome" refers to the set of all genes in an organism. However, "genome" was coined decades before it was discovered that most DNA is "non-coding" and not part of a gene; thus, "genome" originally referred to the entire collection of DNA within an organism. Today, both definitions are used, depending on the context.[9]
Glycome Glycomics Glycans Glycobiology
Hologenome Hologenomics Genomes of community members (i.e., holobionts) Metagenomics
Humeome Humeomics The chemical components of soil humus Soil science
Interferome Interferomics Interferons Immunology Also a database of the same name.[10]
Interactome Interactomics All interactions The term "interactomics" is generally not used. Instead, interactomes are considered the study of systems biology.[11][12]
Ionome Ionomics Inorganic biomolecules Molecular Biology
Kinome Kinomics Kinases Molecular Biology Proteins that add a phosphate group
Lipidome Lipidomics[13] Lipids Biochemistry
Mechanome Mechanomics The mechanical systems within an organism
Metabolome Metabolomics Metabolites All products of a biological reaction (including intermediates)
Metagenome Metagenomics Genetic material found in an environmental sample Molecular Biology The genetic material is assumed to contain DNA from multiple organisms and therefore multiple genomes, hence the inclusion of the prefix meta-.
Metallome Metallomics Metals and metalloids
Microbiome microbiomics Collection of microorganisms in another organism such as an animal Microbiology
Obesidome Obesidomics Obesity related proteins Proteomics Coined by Pardo et al., 2012.[14]

Organome Organomics Organ interactions Cellular Signalling / Cell Signaling and Tissue Engineering The study of crosstalk between organs using physiologically relevant in-vitro models
Parvome Parvomics Secondary metabolites Biochemistry Coined by Mark Martin and introduced by Julian Davies in 2008, referring to the Latin parvus for "small", and describing the "humungous microbial world of small (secreted) molecules of great structural diversity".[15] See also [16]
Pharmacogenetics Pharmacogenetics SNPs and their effect on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics Pharmacogenomics
Genomics
Pharmacogenome Pharmacogenomics The effect of changes on the genome on pharmacology Pharmacogenetics
Genomics
Phenome Phenomics Phenotypes Genetics
Physiome Physiomics Physiology of an organism
Phytochemome Phytochemomics Phytochemicals The term has been coined by del Castillo et al., 2013, Food Research International, [1]. Phytochemomics is a comprehensive concept aimed to increase the knowledge of phytochemicals' bioactivity which is of growing importance in agricultural, food, medicine and cosmetic sciences
