Omics

omics casually alludes to a field of study in science finishing off with - omics, for example, genomics, proteomics or metabolomics. Omics focuses on the aggregate portrayal and evaluation of pools of natural atoms that convert into the structure, capacity, and elements of a living being or creatures. The related addition - ome is utilized to address the objects of investigation of such fields, for example, the genome, proteome or metabolome individually. The postfix - ome as utilized in sub-atomic science alludes to a totality or the like; it is a case of a "neo-addition" shaped by reflection from different Greek terms, a succession that doesn't frame a recognizable postfix in Greek.
