= Omics
{wiki}

Each of the omics studies a subset of <molecular biology> with a data intensive and broad point of view that tries to understand global function or organisms, trying to understand what every biologically relevant <molecule> does as part of the hole <metabolism>.

The main omics are:
* <proteomics>{child}
* <metabolomics>{child}

<Omics> might be <stamp collecting>, but maybe it is a bit more like <Trading card game>/<Magic: The Gathering> collecting, in which the cards that you are collecting actually have specific uses and interactions, especially considering that most <metabolic pathways> are analogous across many <species>.
