Deep dives
Understanding Omics in Brewing
Omics encompasses various biological studies focusing on specific compound groups, enabling comprehensive analysis of numerous compounds simultaneously. Key branches include genomics, which examines DNA; transcriptomics, involving RNA; proteomics, focusing on proteins; and metabolomics, which studies metabolites and their roles in biological processes. The cascade from genomics to metabolomics highlights a unidirectional flow of information essential for understanding brewing processes. This approach is beneficial for brewers as it sheds light on interactions among genetic, environmental, and operational factors that influence beer production.
