Central Dogma: Sensitive Scalable Comprehensive Proteomics - Component proteins/levels - Location, modifications, interactions - Function and activity Metagenomics (microbiome) - Community of microorganisms - Changes with state (e. g. disease) - Interaction with metabolome, epithelial barrier, immune system Genomics - Structure (sequence) - Regulation - Function: expression in all of its forms Metabolomics - Large scale small molecule - Metabolites: biochemistry - Flux: metabolism
