Omic technologies refer to a suite of high-throughput techniques that allow for the examination of large sets of biological molecules. These include genes, RNA, proteins, and metabolites, which provide a global view of the molecular landscape within an organism. Each omic technology focuses on a specific aspect of biology:
Genomics examines the complete set of DNA within an organism. Transcriptomics analyzes the RNA transcripts produced by the genome. Proteomics focuses on the entire collection of proteins. Metabolomics studies the chemical processes involving metabolites.
