[edit] -omics
This feels like an artificial/original research distinction, not a concrete, verifiable, notable topic. Superm401 - Talk 06:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- I hope I am doing this right, my vote is do not delete. Or has it even come to that yet? Please do not simply trust your feelings, various '-omics' are very common these days - just ask a biologist. Please try Googling genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, interactomics, functomics, textomics, glyconomics, and their corresponding '-omes', genome, proteome, metabolome, interactome, functome, textome, glycosome.
FWIW, here are some sources (sorry I have not had a chance to fix the -omics page with these);
- OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology
- The importance of culturing bacterioplankton in the 'omics' age.
- CE at the omics level: Towards systems biology - An update.
- Combining omics data to unravel the regulatory network controlling Salmonella invasion of epithelial cells.
- And many others from querying PubMed for 'omics'.

- Keep per Dan's references, and examples. Please add them to the article to bolster WP:Cite. Zidel333 (talk) 14:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Sources seem good. See -ism and -ology. Colonel Warden (talk) 15:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- REname per above to omics or omes, since this particular article is doesn't take into account other -omics suffixes. 132.205.99.122 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 20:50, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
