BACKGROUND The introduction of high throughput and high content screening has induced a prolific growth of -omic terms such as genomics, proteomics, cytomics and many others (1). Cytomics, for example, may be considered a new name for cytometry. It is legitimate to ask why a successful effort should have a new name because previous work may get lost in searches as a counterproductive byproduct. Nevertheless, it seems important to consider potentials and challenges of cytomics in the cytometry field.
