Metabolomics: Metabolites: All products of a biological reaction (including intermediates) Metagenome: Metagenomics: Genetic material found in an environmental sample: Molecular Biology: The genetic material is assumed to contain DNA from multiple organisms and therefore multiple genomes, hence the inclusion of the prefix meta-. Metallome ...
Metabolomics is the scientific study of chemical processes involving metabolites, the small molecule substrates, intermediates, and products of cell metabolism. Specifically, metabolomics is the "systematic study of the unique chemical fingerprints that specific cellular processes leave behind", the study of their small-molecule metabolite ...
The first book on metabolomics was published in 2003. [5] The first journal dedicated to metabolomics (titled simply "Metabolomics") was launched in 2005 and is currently edited by Prof. Roy Goodacre. Some of the more significant early papers on metabolome analysis are listed in the references below. [6] [7] [8] [9]
Metagenomics: Study of metagenomes, i.e., genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples. Neurogenomics: Study of genetic influences on the development and function of the nervous system. Pangenomics: Study of the entire collection of genes or genomes found within a given species. [14]
Metabolite Set Enrichment Analysis (MSEA) is a method designed to help metabolomics researchers identify and interpret patterns of metabolite concentration changes in a biologically meaningful way. [1] It is conceptually similar to another widely used tool developed for transcriptomics called Gene Set Enrichment Analysis or GSEA. [2]
This glossary of cellular and molecular biology is a list of definitions of terms and concepts commonly used in the study of cell biology, molecular biology, and related disciplines, including molecular genetics, biochemistry, and microbiology. [1] It is split across two articles:
Some examples of successful metabolic engineering are the following: (i) Identification of constraints to lysine production in Corynebacterium glutamicum and insertion of new genes to relieve these constraints to improve production [7] (ii) Engineering of a new fatty acid biosynthesis pathway, called reversed beta oxidation pathway, that is ...
This information can then be used to study the species diversity and functional potential of the microbial community of the environment. [1] Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental or clinical samples by a method called sequencing.
