Welcome to the Omics Gateway

Biology has become an increasingly data-rich subject, and NPG is committed to helping the community mine those data for novel insight. Many of the emerging fields of large-scale data-rich biology are designated by adding the suffix ‘-omics’ onto previously used terms. The importance to the life-science community as a whole of such large-scale approaches is reflected in the huge number of citations to many of the key papers in these fields; the human and mouse genome papers being the most obvious examples. The Omics Gateway provides life scientists a convenient portal into publications relevant to large-scale biology from journals throughout NPG. By organizing our papers and web focus projects on large-scale biology into this comprehensive, regularly updated, one-stop web portal, we hope to help you quickly reach the resources you need to study the -ome of your choice and to keep you up-to-date with the most significant research in that area.

    Human epigenomics: Putting epigenetic variation on the map FREE

    Nature Reviews Genetics

    October 2009

    Human epigenome projects are hoped to generate new insights into how epigenetics contributes to disease and to provide new biomarkers and therapeutic targets. An understanding of normal epigenetic variation among and within individuals is an essential starting point for such efforts. A recent study provides the most extensive insights so far into variability in DNA methylation among tissues caused by ageing and environmental exposure.
