Because
genomics is an interdisciplinary science that unites biology, chemistry,
physics, and mathematics, its language is diverse and includes terms not always
found in dictionaries. .. links to pages on nomenclature, a bibliography of Web
and print resources, and a FAQ page are available at this fantastic Website

Because
genomics is an interdisciplinary science that unites biology, chemistry,

Everybody's talking about proteomics and
structural genomics these days, but have you heard of transcriptomics? How about
cellomics? One site trying to track the dizzying evolution of the postgenomics
lexicon is Genomics Glossaries.
