Examples

Nowadays it's a huge field of proteomics where people can read off whole proteomes and from cells they can read all the proteins that are in there.
The prospect of a human proteome project is held back by a fundamental problem.
The proteome is larger than the genome, especially in eukaryotes, in the sense that there are more proteins than genes.

A finer appreciation of the differences between the proteomes of individuals will allow doctors to tailor treatments to specific populations.

Surface Forms

proteome singular

proteomes plural

Morphology

proteome = protein (semi-transparent) = prote + ome

Formed by combining the protein stem (truncated to 'prote-') with the technical suffix '-ome' (as in genome), so the relation to 'protein' is clear but the specialized suffix and stem truncation make it less immediately guessable for general learners.

Etymology

Proteome comes from protein and the ending -ome, which means 'a whole set', like in genome or biome. That's why a proteome is the complete set of proteins made by an organism, cell, or tissue at a certain time.
