Collecting the data is a critical step for any research project to kick off. For biomedical scientists, this means delving into petabytes of data scattered into hundreds of public or private databases ...

The availability of data is the foremost step in analysis. There are several metabolomic databases available, each of them serving a different purpose. Their goal is to put the metabolites in some ...

The possibility of metabolomics playing a role in cancer diagnostics and treatment seems, to many metabolomicists, a question of when rather than if. After all, metabolomics is a powerful platform to ...

Systems biology has emerged in the previous decade to provide a holistic study of the biochemical components (genes, transcripts, proteins, and metabolites) and their complex interactions that create ...

Over the last decade, metabolomics has emerged as the newest of the "omic" sciences (following genomics and proteomics) to provide comprehensive biochemical information about cellular metabolism. This ...

The human body contains thousands of metabolites, and metabolomics scientists plan to measure them all (see Part 1). But how to do so remains rather an open question. “We are just starting to learn ...
