Omics is a discipline of biology for analyzing the network of interactions and functions of biological entities in various omes of life. <br />
<br />
</strong>Systems biology is “biology” that focuses on complex systems in life. <br />
Omics focuses on large scale and holistic data/information to understand life in encapsulated omes (in many distinct <a class="external text" title="http://biolayer.org" rel="nofollow" href="http://biolayer.org/" rel="nofollow"><font color="#3366bb">biolayers</font></a>)<br /> Bioinformatics is an information science that analyzes life processes using computational tools for solving biological problems and give direction/overview in biology.

<p><strong>Definition of omics</strong></p>
This was because they were in the perfect position of looking at large scale data with most efficient analysis tools. Essentially, this was the era of bioinformatic exploration of biological ideas and concepts. * <a class="new" title="Biological omics" href="http://omics.org/index.php?title=Biological_omics&action=edit"><font color="#cc2200">Biological omics</font></a> in alphabetical order </p>
<p><strong>Common omes and omics</strong> </p>
<p>Some of the more common "omes" are now well-established within biomics and genomics, having shaken their putative origins as <a class="new" title="Buzzword" href="http://omics.org/index.php?title=Buzzword&action=edit"><font color="#cc2200">buzzwords</font></a>: * <a title="Biome" href="http://omics.org/index.php/Biome"><font color="#002bb8">Biome</font></a> is the top level ome in biology. Biome is one of the oldest terms, but it did not cause the explosion of -omics as it had been used by small group of biologists (not by bioinformatists). <a class="new" title="Biomics" href="http://omics.org/index.php?title=Biomics&action=edit"><font color="#cc2200">Biomics</font></a> is the study of biome.
