omics

Noun

1. Any of several biological subfields that aim to identify or characterize the totality of a certain type of biological entity, e.g. genomics (for genes) or proteomics (for proteins).
   • Many computational algorithms have been developed to predict gene functions from omics data. As the omics era starts with completely sequenced genomes, early efforts on algorithm development focused on exploring...
   • However, because of the large amount of data required for calculating differential dependencies across gene networks, such analytics are often not feasible across the limited -omics datasets of rare or emerging...
