After the genomics gold rush comes pretomics

Article Abstract:

Proteomics is defined as being the characterization of relative abundance, all structures and functions, and the interactions of the complement of proteins in a given entity. By contrast, genomics is defined as obtaining and understanding the complement of genetic information available to a given organism. As such, proteomics is a subset of genomics. This article discusses changes brought about by recent research in both fields upon the other fields.
