Definition
“Omics” refers to bioinformatics studies of all constituents of a biological system considered collectively, e.g., all genes of an organism – genomics, all microorganisms in a habitat – microbiomics, etc. Omics technologies include acquiring, managing, and processing large volumes of biological information, including medical, genetic, biochemical, and biophysical data, and require computer-based resources, such as data repositories, algorithms, and theoretical approaches to deal with the sheer volume of the data application of such omics technologies in dermatology, and skin biology was named “skinomics.”
Introduction
Due to its accessibility, skin was one of the first tissues analyzed using “omics,” and dermatology was the medical discipline to embrace the approach very early. In three specific areas the omics methodology has made great...
