Proteomics is

  • A.the study of algal genomes
  • B.a branch of quantum physics dealing with proteins
  • C.the study of formation of lipo-protein in animals
  • D.the study of the entire collection of proteins expressed by an organism

Answer: D

Correct answer: the study of the entire collection of proteins expressed by an organism

The proteome is what the genome actually produces, and it differs between cells, conditions and moments in a way the genome does not. It also reflects processing and modification that the sequence cannot predict, which is why proteomics is a separate study rather than a corollary of genomics.
