transcriptomics

This term refers to a specialized field of molecular biology. It is used primarily in academic, clinical, and research settings to describe the high-throughput analysis of RNA. Because it describes a field of study, it follows the linguistic pattern of other "omics" sciences, such as genomics or proteomics.

Despite ending in "s", the word is grammatically singular. It functions as an uncountable noun representing a scientific discipline. It should not be pluralized to describe multiple instances of the study, nor should it be treated as a plural noun when paired with a verb.
