Genomici

Genomici is an Italian term used primarily as an adjective meaning genomic or related to the genome, and as a masculine plural noun form in scientific contexts. The base genoma means genome, and the suffix -ico creates adjectives such as genomico; the plural masculine is genomici, while feminine plural is genomiche, used with feminine nouns like sequenze genomiche or regioni genomiche.

In technical Italian, genomici describes data, methods, and concepts associated with genomes. Common compounds include dati genomici (genomic data), metodi genomici (genomic methods), strumenti genomici (genomic tools), and approcci genomici (genomic approaches). The feminine forms appear in phrases such as sequenze genomiche and regioni genomiche. The term also appears in broader phrases like medicina genomica, biologia genomica, and genetica genomica, indicating the field of genomics.

The usage rose with the development of genomics in the late 20th century and remains standard in Italian scientific literature. In English-language contexts the corresponding form is genomic, but genomici is widely encountered in Italian texts and translations, reflecting the same concepts in a grammatically gendered form.
