With 35,000 genes and hundreds of thousands of protein states to identify, correlate, and
understand, it no longer suffices to rely on studies of one gene, gene product, or process at a
time. We have entered the "omic" era in biology. But
large- scale omic studies of cellular
molecules in aggregate rarely can answer interesting questions without the assistance of
information from traditional hypothesis- driven research. The two types of science are
synergistic. John N. Weinstein, Searching for pharmacogenomic markers: the synergy between omic and

Sept. 14, 2001 http://snowdeal.org/section/informatics/archives/2001_09_09_index.html chromatinomics: The field of stem cell biology is currently being redefined. Stem cell (hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic) differentiation has been considered hierarchical in nature, but recent data suggest that there is no progenitor/stem cell hierarchy, but rather a reversible continuum. The stem cell (hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic) phenotype, the total differentiation capacity (hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic), gene expression as well as other stem cell functional characteristics (homing, receptor and adhesion molecule expression) vary throughout a cell-cycle transit widely. This seems to be dependent on shifting chromatin and gene expression with cell-cycle transit. The published data on DNA methylation, histone acetylation, and also RNAi, the major regulators of gene expression, conjoins very well and provides an explanation for the major issues of stem cell biology. … We are entering a new era of stem cell biology the era of chromatinomics. We are one step closer to the practical use of cellular therapy for degenerative diseases. Jan Cerny, Peter J Quesenberry, Chromatin remodeling and stem cell theory of relativity, J. Cell.

Chromosomics deals with the plasticity of chromosomes in relation to the three-dimensional positions of genes, which affect cell function in a developmental and tissue-specific manner during the cell cycle. It also deals with species-specific differences in the architecture of chromosomes, which has been overlooked in the past. Chromosomics includes research into chromatin-modification-mediated changes in the architecture of chromosomes, which may influence the functions and life spans of cells, tissues, organs and individuals. It also addresses the occurrence and prevalence of chromosomal gaps and breaks.

Alternatively, a specific combinatorial strategy may be designed to analyse a particular known protein on the basis of that protein sequence alone or, in the absence of reliable protein sequence, even the predicted amino acid translation of an EST sequence. Combinatorial peptidomics is especially suitable for use with high throughput micro- and nano-fluidic platforms capable of running multiple depletion reactions in a single disposable chip.

To understand better the nature of the macromolecular assemblages that carry out the cell cycle and ubiquitin- dependent proteolysis, we have used mass spectrometry extensively over the past few years to characterize both the composition of various protein complexes and the modification states of their subunits.

Although, the effects of cryoinjury upon the genome are often unknown, any accumulative DNA polymorphisms may not be induced by cryopreservation per se but are the result of the whole culture-cryoprotection-regeneration process. It is desirable to assess the genetic integrity of plants surviving cryogenic storage to determine if they are 'true to type' after cryopreservation. This can be done at the phenotypic, histological, cytological, biochemical and molecular levels. The relevance of these approaches to stability investigations is discussed with their limitations. This review provides a definition for 'Cryobionomics' - a novel term describing the re-modelled concept of genetic stability and the re-introduction of cryopreserved plants into the environment.

However, in comparison with animal tissues, relatively few plant cytoskeleton proteins have been identified. We presume this is not because the plant cytoskeleton is really made up of such few proteins, but rather that only rarely have attempts been made to identify plant- specific cytoskeleton proteins, using plant- specific methods. Here we outline methods that we have developed both for the isolation and identification of novel cytoskeleton proteins as well as for the visualization of novel filamentous structures in plant cells, and we describe several novel cytoskeleton proteins and two novel cytoskeleton structures, 'nanofilaments' and 'nanotubules'.

However, this definition of fragmentomics is rather limited, as there are
numerous biological processes where fragments of larger molecules are involved.
A natural fragmentation of proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and other
natural molecules is well known. For example, the peptide molecules excised from
specialized precursors are fragments. This is characteristic of both the

These fragments are typically peptides liberated from the intact antigens through distinct proteolytic mechanisms that are subsequently transported to cell surface bound to chaperone like receptors known as Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These complexes are then scrutinised by effector T cells that express clonally distributed T cell receptors with specificity for specific MHC- peptide complexes. In normal uninfected cells, this process of antigen processing and presentation occurs continuously, with the resultant array of self-antigen derived peptides displayed on the surface of these cells. Changes in this peptide landscape of cells act to alert immune effector cells to changes in the intracellular environment that may be associated with infection, malignant transformation or other abnormal cellular processes, resulting in a cascade of events that result in their elimination. Because peptides play such a crucial role in informing the immune system of infection with viral or microbial pathogens and the transformation of cells in malignancy, the tools of proteomics, in particular mass spectrometry, are ideally suited to study these immune responses at a molecular level.

A complementary approach to experimental tumor antigen discovery is to screen the human genome in silico, particularly the databases of "Expressed Sequence Tags" (ESTs), in search of tumor- specific and tumor- associated antigens. The public databases currently provide a massive amount of ESTs from several hundreds of cDNA tissue libraries, including tumoral tissues from various types.

Phosphorylation can regulate almost every property of a protein and is involved in all fundamental cellular processes. Cataloging and understanding protein phosphorylation is no easy task: many kinases may be expressed in a cell, and one-third of all intracellular proteins may be phosphorylated, representing as many as 20,000 distinct phosphoprotein states. Defining the kinase complement of the human genome, the kinome, has provided an excellent starting point for understanding the scale of the problem. The kinome consists of 518 kinases, and every active protein kinase phosphorylates a distinct set of substrates in a regulated manner.

In the human body, all biological components from individual genes to
entire organs work together to promote normal development and sustain health.
This amazing feat of biological teamwork is made possible by an array of
intricate and interconnected pathways that facilitate communication among genes,
molecules, and cells. While some of the biological pathways have already been
discovered, many more remained to be found. Further research is needed to
understand how these pathways are integrated in humans and other complex
organisms, as well as to determine how disturbances in these pathways may lead
to disease and what might be done to restore disturbed pathways to their normal
functions. General aim of metabolomics is to identify, measure and interpret the complex time-related concentration, activity and flux of endogenous metabolites in cells, tissues, and other biosamples such as blood, urine, and saliva; here metabolites include small molecules that are the products and intermediates of metabolism, as well as carbohydrates, peptides, and lipids. CRISP Thesaurus, NIH http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/Thesaurus/00012860.htm Due to pleiotropic effects, the effect of a single mutation may lead to the alteration of metabolite levels of seemingly unrelated biochemical pathways. This is especially liable to happen if genes are constitutively overexpressed or anti- sense inhibited. A comprehensive and quantitative analysis of all metabolites could help researchers understand such systems. Since such an analysis reveals the metabolome of the biological system under study, this approach should be called metabolomics. Analogous to proteins and proteomics, metabolomics, or metabonomics, is the study of all the metabolites of a cell or organism. Identifying and quantifying these components helps to reveal cellular regulation, pathways, activity, and response under normal and other conditions. Brush up on your 'omics, Chemical & Engineering News, 81(49): 20, Dec. 2003 http://pubs.acs.org/cen/coverstory/8149/8149genomics1.html For functional genomic or plant breeding programmes, as well as for diagnostic usage in industrial or clinical routines, it might not be necessary to determine the levels of all metabolites individually. Instead, a rapid classification of samples according to their origin or their biological relevance might be more adequate in order to maintain a high through- put. This process can be called metabolic finger- printing. Such approaches have occasionally been termed metabonomics, which on the one hand could be mixed up with the completely different goal of metabolomics, and on the other hand with the earlier defined concept of the metabolon, the coordinated channelling of substrates through tightly connected enzyme complexes.

Epigenomics AG, Germany, Glossary http://www.epigenomics.com/glossary.php methylomics: The modern era of Methylomics had its origins in the fields of genetics and embryology. It began in 1939 with Conrad Waddingtons concept of the epigenotype, a character whose mode of impression was over and above, or in addition to, the classical genotype (8). Waddington used this descriptor in terms of interrelated developmental pathways, a view which culminated in his famous description of the Epigenetic Landscape. Epigenetics moved from a genetics-based, to a methylation-based, to a CpG island-based, and more recently to genome-wide Methylomics, initiated by the seminal articles of Art Riggs, Robin Holliday and Adrian Bird and their associates(9-13).

I suggest we broaden our horizons by thinking of the multicellular being as a superorganism, with an extended genome comprising: a) karyome ? chromosome set b) chondriome - mitochondria or b') plastidome ? chloroplasts (in plants) c) microbiome - the entourage of microbial flora that we carry in and on us, perhaps as endosymbionts like mitochondria or chloroplasts, but also on our skin, gut lumen, mucosal surfaces, and elsewhere. Each of these components can have an impact on the outcome of our encounters with infection (and reinfection), as well as on nutrition. Microbiome is a microbial community.

Ultimately, both the detection and precise characterization of a factor's contribution to a complex disease are difficult undertakings, because the effect of any one factor may be obscured or confounded by other factors. However, the genetic dissection of complex diseases can be greatly facilitated by paying heed to two very basic distinctions. The first distinction is between complexity at the level of individuals and complexity at the level of populations. The second distinction is between the two sequentially pursued components of gene discovery paradigms: gene identification and gene effect characterization. Although genetic epidemiology, as a research field, is oriented to both components of gene discovery for complex diseases, it is suited to gene effect characterization at the population level more than anything else. This paper reviews the origins of the genetic basis of complex traits, as well as the problems plaguing genetic epidemiologic analysis strategies, with the hope of showing how greater attention to these distinctions, as well as a greater integration of relevant knowledge, can alleviate confusion and shape future investigations. In addition, a new discipline, "phenomics" or "phenometrics," could be initiated that would complement genomic research as presently performed. Nicholas J.

At what biological levels are data from single-celled organisms akin to a
Rosetta stone for multicellular ones? … Gene order is not evolutionarily
conserved … Most gene expression is pleiotropic, and deletion studies
reveal that a morphological phenotype is seldom observed when these
genes are removed from the genome. These data pinpoint some general
bottlenecks in functional genomics, and they reveal the acute
emerging difficulties with data transferability above the levels of
genes and proteins, especially with complex human phenotypes. At
these higher levels the Rosetta stone analogy has almost no
applicability. However, newer transgenic technologies in Drosophila
and Mus, combined with coherency pattern analyses of gene
networks, and synthetic neural modeling, offer insights into
organismal function. … We conclude that industrially scaled robogenomics
in model organisms will have great impact if it can be realistically
linked to epigenetic analyses of human variation and to phenotypic
analyses of human diseases in different genetic backgrounds. R.

Transgenomics is a three-step process.

Second, we insert into the rice genome a number of copies of an Upstream Activating Sequence (US) that is the target for binding by the Tran activator. Third, crosses between the TAFFETA lines and the US lines are expected to change expression patterns of a plant’s own genes resulting in Gain of Function mutations.

Our definition of the translatome is partially motivated by the ambiguities in
term proteome, which has two competing
definitions. First, broadly favored by computational biologists, is a list of
all the proteins encoded in the genome (Wasteland 1999, Do little 2000). In
this context, it is equivalent to what some refer to as the ORFeome, i.e.
the set of genes excluding non- coding regions. Experimentalists, especially
those involved in large- scale experiments such as expression
analysis and 2D electrophoresis,
favor a second definitions. Here it is used to describe the actual cellular
contents of proteins, taking into account the different levels of protein
concentrations (Yates 2000). We prefer the former definition for proteome, and
use the term translatome for the later. Dov Greenbaum "Interrelating Different Types of Genomic Data"

this approach, while potentially flexible, is also more complex. It requires
assessing potential antigen proteins encoded by the malaria genome, using
