Ome-ome

With the dawn of the "age of the genome" we've seen the invention of many new conceptual constructs in the life sciences: the genome, the proteome, and so on.

This web page is dedicated to collecting examples of all the known -omes.

-ome	Brief description
genome	All the genetic material in a biological unit (cell, organism, species)
proteome	All the proteins that can be produced by the genome
transcriptome	All the mRNA transcripts in a given biological unit (cell, tissue, organism) under given conditions, providing a way to analyze gene expression
i nteractome
All the chemical interactions in a biological unit, such as a cell
metabolome	All the metabolic pathways in a biological unit (cell, tissue, organism, species)
glycome	All the carbohydrates in a biological unit (cell, species)
lipidome	All the lipids (fats) in a biological unit (cell, species)
kinome	All the protein kinases (activating enzymes) in a biological unit
spliceome	All the spliced forms of proteins in a biological unit
textome	All elements of a body of scientific (biological) literature that can be "text mined" for information
neurome	All the neural pathways/structures of a biological unit (organism, species)
phenome	All the phenotypes in a biological unit (organism, population, species)
