Interferomics

Interferomics is the study of biological events that take place post-transcriptomic pre-translatomically. It defines one of many levels in an emerging field of Life sciences known as Systems Biology.

RNA Interference is one such cellular mechanism that falls in this category and is to-date the only known interferomic phenomenon. Drs Andrew Z. Fire and Craig C. Mello were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in the year of 2006 for their collective discovery of RNA interference.
