摘要
For some historic reasons, our new journal is named 'Genomics, Pro teomics & Bioinformatics', or as we have nicknamed it in short the Journal of GPB. A growing number of '-ome' and '-omics' have appeared in many diverse fields of biology, especially in the recent years under profound influences of the Human Genome Project and many other genome projects completed or in progress. We had almost attempted to re-name this journal 'Ever-more-omics' to include all the new comers. However, after a second thought, we have decided to entertain these 'Three Kingdoms' first while we are keeping an eye on others.
