   • 1853, Southern Literary Messenger, Volume 19, page 389,

     Reichenbach has detected, or fancies that he has detected a force, which he designates the odic force, distinct from magnetism and electricity, by which many of the more recondite phenomena of nature are apparently effected.

   • 1878 July, George Miller Beard, The Scientific Study of Human Testimony, Part III, in Popular Science Monthly, Volume 13,

     Such was the origin of the delusions of "animal magnetism," and "odic" and "psychic" force—claims that belong to cerebro-physiology, a department of science that is now but just passing out of the territorial into the organized stage.

   • 1973, Aubrey T. Westlake, The Pattern of Health: A Search for a Greater Understanding of the Life Force in Health and Disease, page 32,

     With his death, not only the odic theory but the whole conception of animal magnetism would appear to have been buried and forgotten, the only references, as this one from Garrison's History of Medicine, being of a disparaging nature: ‘The whole subject was exploited in various mystic forms ... by Baron von Reichenbach, whose concept of odic force still survives in ouija boards and odic telephones.’

Etymology

-ome +? -ic

Adjective

omic (not comparable)

1. (biology, medicine) Of or pertaining to related measurements or data from such interrelated fields as genomics, proteomics, transcriptomic or other fields. Many of these fields have a name that ends with the suffix -omics.

   This computer program allows users to manage any type of omic data files, including instrumental raw data, image data, gene expression data, proteomic data, genotyping data, flow cytometry data, and so on.

   • 2000, Glen A. Evans, “Designer science and the ‘omic’ revolution”, NATURE BIOTECHNOLOGY, VOL 18 FEBRUARY 2000, Nature America Inc., pate #: 127

     Following the success of the human genome project effort, several other “omic” disciplines have emerged, with the goal of analyzing the components of a living organism in its entirety. Proteomics (the complete set of proteins produced in a cell), phenomics (the complete set of mutational phenotypes), epigenomics (the complete set of methylation alterations in the genome), ligandomics (the complete set of organic small molecules), and so forth, have each focused on the accumulation of the totality of biological information of a molecular type.

   • 2003, Hui Ge1, Albertha J.M. Walhout1 and Marc Vidal, “Integrating ‘omic’ information: a bridge between genomics and systems biology”, TRENDS in Genetics, Vol.19 No.10 October 2003, Elsevier, page #: 551

     Other more recent functional genomic and proteomic (‘omic’) approaches include protein–protein, protein–DNA or other ‘component–component’ interaction mapping (interactome mapping), systematic phenotypic analyses (phenome mapping) and transcript or protein localization mapping (localizome mapping). Omic approaches have already been applied to many biological processes, leading to large lists of genes potentially involved in the corresponding modules.
