Metabolomics

The study of the small molecule metabolites produced by cells.

"Metabolomics is the scientific study of chemical processes involving metabolites, the small molecule substrates, intermediates, and products of cell metabolism."
"The metabolome represents the complete set of metabolites in a biological cell, tissue, organ, or organism, which are the end products of cellular processes."
"Metabolomics is the systematic study of the unique chemical fingerprints that specific cellular processes leave behind."
"Metabolomics provides a direct 'functional readout of the physiological state' of an organism."
"The metabolome and the other cellular ensembles (genome, transcriptome, proteome, and lipidome) can be used to predict metabolite abundances in biological samples."
"Messenger RNA (mRNA), gene expression data, and proteomic analyses reveal the set of gene products being produced in the cell, data that represents one aspect of cellular function."
"One of the ultimate challenges of systems biology is to integrate metabolomics with all other -omics information to provide a better understanding of cellular biology."
"Metabolomics is the scientific study of chemical processes involving metabolites, the small molecule substrates, intermediates, and products of cell metabolism."
"Conversely, metabolic profiling can give an instantaneous snapshot of the physiology of that cell."
"The metabolome represents the complete set of metabolites in a biological cell, tissue, organ, or organism, which are the end products of cellular processes."
"There are quantifiable correlations between the metabolome and the other cellular ensembles (genome, transcriptome, proteome, and lipidome), which can be used to predict metabolite abundances in biological samples."
