 These developments belong to what is commonly referred to as “post-genomics” (Richardson &amp; Stevens 2015). Next to DNA, so-called “omics” research studies the transcriptome, the proteome, the interactome, and other levels of cellular processes and is strongly driven by new technological developments. DNA and protein microarrays (biochips) have been instrumental in this respect, and the investigation of RNA transcripts has been even further enhanced by next generation RNA sequencing (Rheinberger &amp; Müller-Wille 2018: Ch. 9). Such high-throughput technologies result in massive amounts of diverse types of data. Bio-ontologies, and database infrastructures and curation, accordingly, became a central aspect of molecular biological research (Leonelli 2016).
