Abstract
The term ‘proteomics’ indicates PROTEins expressed by a genOME and is the systematic analysis of protein profiles of tissues. Proteomics parallels the related field of genomics. Now that the human genome has been sequenced, we face the greater challenge of making use of this information for improving healthcare and discovering new drugs. There is an increasing interest in proteomics technologies now because deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence information provides only a static snapshot of the various ways in which the cell might use its proteins whereas the life of the cell is a dynamic process. A detailed discussion of proteomics is given in a special report on this topic (Jain 2015). Application to development of personalized medicine will be discussed here briefly.
