Glycomics & Lipidomics Review Journals

The comprehensive study of glycomes including genetic, physiologic, pathologic and other aspects are glycomics. Over the past two decades, the cellular and molecular biology fields have been transformed by ‘omics’ technologies that permit analysis of large pools of biological molecules. The advent of deep sequencing technologies has dramatically changed the analysis of nucleic acids and has revolutionized the fields of genomics and transcriptomics. Additionally, improvements in mass spectrometry sensitivity and speed has strongly impacted the depth to which proteomes can be explored. However, nucleic acids and proteins do not alone provide a complete view of cellular function. Enabled by similar recent analytical advances, the past decade has also seen rapid growth of glycomics, lipidomics and metabolomics, fields that explore cellular compounds that are not synthesized by genetic template-driven processes, but instead are products of biosynthetic pathways created by a cell’s proteome. These newer fields, in conjunction with the more mature fields of genomics, proteomics and transcriptomics, are now generating a more holistic view of cellular function during both normal cell physiology and in disease.
