Central dogma DNA → RNA → Protein describes one-way flow of genetic information oversimplifies process
Actual flow involves DNA to mRNA, processing (splicing, capping, polyadenylation), to proteins,
Real-world process includes regulatory mechanisms, feedback loops, epigenetic factors influencing (, )
Limitations of genomics and transcriptomics
Genomics fails to account for , predict events, capture post-translational modifications (, )
Transcriptomics struggles with , ,
Both unable to detect (nucleus, cytoplasm), predict protein activity or functional state, capture over time (, )
Integrating Omics Approaches
Integration of proteomics data
Multi-omics data integration combines genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic datasets provides holistic view of cellular processes (metabolism, signaling pathways)
Complementary information genomics reveals genetic variations, transcriptomics shows gene expression patterns, proteomics measures actual protein abundance
Enhanced pathway analysis identifies discrepancies between mRNA and protein levels reveals post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms (miRNA regulation, protein degradation)
Improved biomarker discovery combines genetic predisposition with protein expression increases accuracy in disease diagnosis and prognosis (cancer, neurodegenerative disorders)
Proteogenomics for genome annotation
integrates proteomics data with genomic and transcriptomic information improves genome annotation
