The battle of the
'omes is on, and the winner is decided by Google and
PubMed, the biomedical publication database:
 |
| 'Ome sweet 'ome |
The victory of the
genome is of course a foregone conclusion. Besides that, it's surprising that
the reactome gets so many Google hits, although a PubMed search returns less
than a hundred publications containing the term.
I might compile the
same figure in a year or so to see if the ranking has changed. In the meantime,
have a look here
for a critique of 'omics that goes a bit deeper.
I'm so sad "famomics" didn't make the list...never underestimate the power of family history!
ReplyDeleteHi Art,
ReplyDeleteonce again an interesting compilation. What would be even more representative is to add the time. For instance the "genome" word appeared much earlier than epigenome. This could give trend and, in turn, be use as a good speculative projection tool. I suspect that microbiome, metabolome, and metagenome will have pretty strong positive slope.
