Proteomics was developed in the wake of genomics (the study of genes). Whereas genomics is the study of a cell's [[genome]], or set of genes, proteomics is the study of a cell's [[proteome]], or set of proteins. However, unlike a genome, a proteome changes over time for a particular cell. | Proteomics was developed in the wake of genomics (the study of genes).
