proteomics

/ˌproʊtiˈoʊmɪks/

Definition

The large-scale study and analysis of the entire set of proteins produced or modified by an organism or system.

Etymology

The term is a blend of 'protein' and the suffix '-omics' (denoting a comprehensive study of a field). It was coined in the mid-1990s to describe the systemic analysis of proteins, analogous to how 'genomics' describes the study of the genome.
