The four major omic components along with associated high-throughput techniques used in each. Metabolomics, which is the systemic study of metabolite byproducts from enzymatic reactions, best represents the biological system’s phenotype. Additionally, the signaling cascade from proteomics to metabolomics can also be characterized as ‘function’ since this omics component describes how cellular state leads to functional phenotype.
