Abstract

Cytomics is the branch of omics that takes into account the various bioinformatic techniques for understanding the functions and molecular architecture of the cytome. Cytomics, the multi-molecular cytometric analysis of the cellular heterogeneity of cytomes, access a maximum of information on the apparent molecular cell phenotype as it results from cell genotype and exposure. This has been done using various cytometrical procedures including microscopic techniques allowing the various components of a cell to be visualized as they interact in vivo.

Keywords: Cytome, heterogeneity, metabolome, phenotype, proteome
