What Are Metabolomics and Techniques Used in Metabolomics?
Large-scale analysis of metabolites (small chemicals found in cells, biofluids, tissues, and organisms) is known as metabolomics . The metabolome is the comprehensive catalog of all the tiny molecules and their interactions inside a given biological system. Metabolomics studies the substrates and products of metabolism , which are impacted by genetic and environmental variables. In contrast to other "omics" measurements, metabolites and their concentrations directly reflect the underlying metabolic activity and condition of cells and tissues, making metabolomics a robust method. The molecular phenotype is thus most faithfully reflected by metabolomics . Procedures Employed in Metabolomics It takes chemists, biologists, and informaticians' combined efforts to progress in the field of metabolomics . In a system, there is no one analytical technique that can detect all of the metabolites. Preparing an extract is necessary for isolating metabolites from biological tissue, a
