Abstract:

Omes and Omics is a new paradigm of analyzing biological entities(also, biological information objects). The essence of omics  is that biological understanding requires a philosophical view. That is biology is about information processing. The atom of biological information processing is 'interaction' among biological entities. The physical outcome of interaction is switches. Biological entities are essentially the sum of 'switches'. Therefore, the new classification and reorganization of the whole biology should be based on omes and omics classified under informatics. 

 

Types of Omes and omics: The following division is not always clear-cut. However, it can be a good way to understand the characteristics of omes.

(1) Object oriented omes/omics: this is after biological information objects. For example, Genomics is the omics for gene objects. 

(2) Action oriented omes/omics: this is after biological action and information types. For example, Expressome is the ome of cellular activity of expression and expression information. Reactionome and reactome are also action oriented omes.
