Abstract
The topic of this chapter has only rather recently been recognized as a distinct area. Its boundaries are, however, presently less clearly demarcated than those of most of the other -omics fields of study. Nevertheless, it is arguably the most important and interesting among them. Important subtopics include activity-based protein profiling, phenotype microarrays seeded with microorganisms, ethomics (the quantitative study of behaviour) and, finally, “modelling life” via the virtual living organism (VLO).

The antithesis of polygenicity, (one gene affecting many traits) has been shown in at least one case to stabilize cooperation (Foster et al. 2004)—cf. Sect. 10.9.1.
