In addition, NIH - funded researchers who
generate full genome sequence data from HeLa cells will be expected to deposit their data into a single database for future sharing through this process.
One of the ten emerging technologies selected was the Human Cell Atlas, which aims to integrate research exploring all the «omes»: the
genome (the
full set of genes), the transcriptome (the RNA made from all genes), the proteome (the proteins), the metabolome (small molecules, such as sugars, fatty acids and amino acids, involved or
generated by cellular processes), and the fluxome (metabolic reactions whose rates can vary under different conditions).
