The integration of cell communication and the transfer of signals from stimuli via transcription to translation and further to activation of new protein is crucial for appropriate metabolism and function of living organisms. The overall elucidation and the examination of these complex processes require multistep laboratory approaches in order to obtain results which will not only detect particular stage but also indicate the mechanisms lying upon this process. Such results will be reliable because they will cover multidirectional methods and approaches. The analysis of currently available results already provided with the conclusion that often single omics approach does not correspond with other expected information and may bring misinterpretations. That is why the integration of several "omics" is useful for searching entire explanations and answers as well as appropriate interpretation of obtained complex results. The hypothesis was stated that "from transcriptomics can not be concluded to proteomics". This review focuses on the reasons for the integration of transcriptomic, proteomic and other-omics analysis. Moreover it also describes the examples of clinical meanings and mentions some methods used in these approaches.
