Genomics is a novel science that deals with the finding and noting of all sequences in an organism's whole genome. In a nutshell, genomics is the study of an organism's genetic make-up.
Proteins control a variety of functions within the cell. The proteome is the total set of proteins in a cell, and proteomics is the study of protein structure and function, as well as what each protein in the cell is doing.
The advent of ‘omics' platforms (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and interactomics) has provided us with a pipeline to build the infrastructure needed for customized medicine.
