Metabolomics Science

Metabolomics is the scientific study of chemical processes involving metabolites, the small molecule substrates, intermediates and products of metabolism.Since metabolites are so closely linked to the phenotype of an organism, metabolomics can be used for a large range of applications, including phenotyping of genetically modified plants and substantial equivalence testing, determination of gene function, and monitoring responses to biotic and abiotic stress.Metabolomics is an emerging field and is broadly defined as the comprehensive measurement of all metabolites and low-molecular-weight molecules in a biological specimen.The most common techniques used in metabolomics for data acquisition are nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS), often applied in combination to extract from samples as much information as possible.
