= Genetic terminology & definitions =

Most definitions and abbreviations are included into the [[http://www.mblogic.net/glossary|Glossary of molecular biology terms and abbreviations]] (my hobby since 2003).

On this page only some interesting facts about genetic terms and concepts are collected.

A crisis in postgenomic nomenclature]] - Science 2002, Fields S, Johnston M. ''To avoid proliferation of 'ome terms, each 'ome should have at least 7 or 8 members. The 'ome name should also include the state of the cell it refers to (ex. 37º-7.4-G1-Golgi-N-but-not-O-linked glycosylome or 4.7.5.3.8ome to use E.C. standards.''
