I got sick of -omics terms several years ago, when the journal <i>Microbial & Comparative Genomics</i> (nee <i>Genome Science and Technology</i>) rose from the grave as <a href="http://www.liebertpub.com/products/product.aspx?pid=43" rel="nofollow"><i>OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology</i></a>. The whole thing reminds me of the rage for coining new "-somes" back in the 1970s and 1980s, with replisomes, primosomes, secretosomes, spliceosome, etc., leading me to coin alledgeosome ;-)Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02968872267548865219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-47916076894970815462009-10-01T16:00:30.345-07:002009-10-01T16:00:30.345-07:00Isn't it kinda like the Department of Redundan...Isn't it kinda like the Department of Redundancy Department?
