This information is then processed using bioinformatic methodologies to allow for the identification of disease-associated molecules (biomarkers) or novel disease states after comparison to healthy or control patients. Ultimately, multi-omics is a nascent, interdisciplinary field of bioengineering that acknowledges disease-associated biomarkers can simultaneously exist as DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites. By considering more than one class of endogenous molecules, bias is further reduced and previously unknown or unexpected interactions can be identified, allowing for deeper insight into the mechanisms driving disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/faculty.engineering.asu.edu\/smith\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/08\/Multiomics_Proteomics-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1280\" width=\"365\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faculty.engineering.asu.edu\/smith\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/08\/Multiomics_Proteomics-3.jpg 514w, https:\/\/faculty.engineering.asu.edu\/smith\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/08\/Multiomics_Proteomics-3-204x300.jpg 204w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><figcaption><strong><em>Figure 1.<\/em><\/strong> LC-MS\/MS-based proteomics performed on human plasma is used to identify thousands of peptides corresponding to hundreds of proteins.
