Big life-science:Study of omics from microscopic to mesoscopic scales
The human genome project at the turn of the century opened a new era of life science research and formed various omics characterized by holistic high-throughput research.The initial omics research was mainly carried out at the molecular level,such as genomics,transcriptomics,proteomics,etc.,showing a new paradigm of data-driven research.With the development of research technologies,the omics research has risen to the mesoscopic level,the representative is the"Human Cell Atlas"project launched in 2017.At present,researchers have been able to carry out omics research at the level of tissues,organs,and even individuals,and resulted in the understanding complex life systems by integrating different levels of omics data.
