Importance of Metabolomics
Metabolome refers to a collection of small molecule compounds that participate in the metabolism of an organism and maintain the normal growth and development of the organism. It mainly refers to endogenous small molecule metabolites with a relative molecular weight of less than 1000 DA. Among many biomolecules such as genes, RNA, and proteins, metabolites are closest to the phenotype, reflecting the true physiological state of the organism. Metabolomics is a scientific study that performs qualitative and quantitative analysis of metabolites in biological samples to discover new metabolites, new metabolic pathways, or to find the correlation between metabolites and physiological and pathological changes. Common metabolite detection platforms are nuclear magnetic resonance NMR, gas-mass spectrometry GC-MS, and liquid-mass spectrometry LC-MS.
Data Analysis
With the development of technologies in bioinformatics, scientific research tends to be in the field of more complex systems. Through the use of bioinformatics to deeply study the data information generated by the metabolite detection platform, and the association analysis of genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes and other omics with the metabolome helps system science to explain biological problems and accelerate metabolites downstream research process.
