Phenome Analysis of Microorganisms

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioinformatics

Abstract

Many terms used in systems biology and bioinformatics are loosely defined and may be interpreted differently depending upon the individual. The introductory section will detail our working definition of a phenome and phenomics and describe some ways in which microbial phenomics may differ from phenomic studies in other organisms.
