eBook: Metabolomics: A Revolution in Omics

Metabolomics is a next-generation 'omics technology for screening and interpreting the metabolome. The metabolome, or the types and quantities of small-molecule metabolites in a system, sits at the nexus of all other influences and is a surrogate for the phenotype.

Measuring the metabolome is critically important for search because variables including genetics, the microbiome, diseases, diet, lifestyle and the environment all exert their influence through subtly altering the metabolome.

In this free eBook, you'll learn how mapping metabolites back to their key biochemical pathways helps identify biomakers and provides crucial insight into the function of genes, the basis of disease, and treatment effects. The sensitivity and versatility of metabolomics makes it an integral tool for a wide variety of research.
