Metabolomics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering topics including whole metabolome analysis of organisms, metabolite target analysis, with applications within animals, plants and microbes, pharmacometabolomics for precision medicine, as well as systems biology.
Plant metabolomics is designed to study the overall changes in metabolites of plant samples and then conduct deep data mining and chemometric analysis. Specialized metabolites are considered components of plant defense systems biosynthesized in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. [76]
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]
Diagram illustrating genomics. Omics is the collective characterization and quantification of entire sets of biological molecules and the investigation of how they translate into the structure, function, and dynamics of an organism or group of organisms.
Metabolic network modelling, also known as metabolic network reconstruction or metabolic pathway analysis, allows for an in-depth insight into the molecular mechanisms of a particular organism. In particular, these models correlate the genome with molecular physiology . [ 1 ]
A model exometabolomic experiment set up from liquid culture, for LC–MS (A), and from agar plates, for MSI (B).. Exometabolomics, also known as 'metabolic footprinting', [1] [2] is the study of extracellular metabolites and is a sub-field of metabolomics.
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]
Applied research in the department addresses resistance management, metabolic engineering and the production of pharmaceuticals in plants. Other research topics concern the mechanisms of genome evolution in eukaryotes and the genetic and evolutionary processes that underlie the physiological plasticity of plant species, populations and ecosystems.
