Precision medicine glossary

Abstract The study of the multiple disciplines involved in Precision Medicine has expanded so rapidly that the vocabulary was sometimes unable to catch up. Of course, Genetics, Genomics, Metabolomics, Proteomics, Molecular Biology, and an array of related areas were extraordinarily helpful, lending not only tools and techniques but also the essential glossary. Nevertheless, neologisms are indispensable, with the inherent criticisms and conflicts, which such words entail. A basic glossary is here presented, aiming to unify a variety of concepts and contexts. A table with helpful internet sites is added as well.
