The whole complements of proteins, RNA or metabolites generated under a set of conditions are called as transcriptome, translatome and metabolome. A set of all the molecules of RNA in population of a cell or single cell is called as transcriptome. The translatome is composed of all the fragments of mRNA that are converted into the constrains in a one cell. The full set of small molecules chemicals present in a biological samples is called as metabolome. The communities of the microbes consists of several microbial species, many of that has been never identified formally and cultured.
