Proteomics is the study of the proteins that genes create or "express." Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene activity. How genes cause the expression of certain traits in individuals is a science called genometrics. Pharmacogenomics is the science that defines how individuals are genetically programmed to respond to drugs.
