Here's an Omical Tale: Scientists Discover Spreading Suffix.

The article examines the use of the suffix "-ome" in scientific terms. Appearing in terms such as genome, foldome, and culturome, the suffix has been used by researchers to attract attention by connecting the words to the advances of genomics. The author traces the history of the suffix, starting in 1920 when botanist Hans Winkler used the term "genome." Other topics covered include criticism of the suffix, a parody website created by scientist Mick Watson, and the scientific journal "Omics."
