-omics

This feels like an artificial/original research distinction, not a concrete, verifiable, notable topic. Superm401 - Talk 06:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I hope I am doing this right, my vote is do not delete. Or has it even come to that yet? Please do not simply trust your feelings, various '-omics' are very common these days - just ask a biologist. Please try Googling genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, interactomics, functomics, textomics, glyconomics, and their corresponding '-omes', genome, proteome, metabolome, interactome, functome, textome, glycosome.

FWIW, here are some sources (sorry I have not had a chance to fix the -omics page with these);


 * OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology
 * The importance of culturing bacterioplankton in the 'omics' age.
 * CE at the omics level: Towards systems biology - An update.
 * Combining omics data to unravel the regulatory network controlling Salmonella invasion of epithelial cells.
 * And many others from querying PubMed for 'omics'.

 * Keep per Dan's references, and examples. Please add them to the article to bolster WP:Cite. Zidel333 (talk) 14:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources seem good. See -ism and -ology.  Colonel Warden (talk) 15:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * REname per above to omics or omes, since this particular article is doesn't take into account other -omics suffixes. 132.205.99.122 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 20:50, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
