HOW CAN WE FIND NEW WAYS TO TACKLE DISEASE?
The information that is carried on DNA as genes, expressed and translated to offer a specific function, from microbes to human, from health to disease, all illustrates the complexity of our biological landscape and our understanding of life.
Multiomics is a field that uses technologies that can offer a snapshot in time of any biological system, offering ‘big data’ that allow us to begin to understand this complexity; DNA sequence (genomics), gene expression (transcriptomics), proteins and their function (proteomics) and the ensuing metabolism (metabolomics). We overlay these data to offer the highest resolution essential to understand our environment, health, our microbial world, and those microbes related to disease.
