DNA is transcribed to RNA and the total RNA content produced is the transcriptome
RNA is translated into protein and the total protein content produced is the proteome

Question 2

What are the different types of “Omes”?

Answer 2

DNA - Genome
RNA - Transcriptome
Protein - Proteome
Epigenetic Signals - Epigenome
Microorganisms - Metagenome
Metabolites - Metabolome
Protein Interactions - Interactome
