'Omics describes a broad collection of research tools and techniques that enable researchers to collect data about biological systems at a very large, or near-complete, scale. These include sequencing of individual and community genomes (genomics, metagenomics), characterization and quantification of gene expression (transcriptomics), metabolite abundance (metabolomics), protein content (proteomics) and phosphorylation (phospho-proteomics), amongst many others. Though initially exploited as tools for fundamental discovery, 'omics techniques are now used extensively in applied and translational research, for example in plant and animal breeding, biomarker development and drug discovery. In this collection of reviews, we aimed to introduce readers to current and future applications of 'omics technologies to solve real-world problems.
“组学”描述了一系列广泛的研究工具和技术，使研究人员能够大规模或近乎完整地收集有关生物系统的数据。这些包括个体和群落基因组的测序（基因组学、宏基因组学）、基因表达的特征和定量（转录组学）、代谢物丰度（代谢组学）、蛋白质含量（蛋白质组学）和磷酸化（磷酸化蛋白质组学）等。尽管最初被用作基础发现的工具，但“组学”技术现在已广泛应用于应用和转化研究，例如在动植物育种、生物标志物开发和药物发现中。在本综述集中，我们旨在向读者介绍“组学”技术的当前和未来应用，以解决实际问题。
