Abstract
Editorial–data analysis in metabolomics
Highlights
The chemical diversity and the precision by which we are able to observe metabolism has taken a step change with the advent of metabolomics technology
The end goal of covering the entire metabolome by one chemical analysis is still far away, and may never be realised considering the immense chemical diversity of metabolites, an ever-growing number of metabolites can be analysed in ever-lower concentrations
To battle the resulting flood of data coming towards the biologist, researchers that employ metabolomics often turn to ‘chemometrics’, the research field that works on the representation of data from complex chemical analyses in simplified, interpretable models
Summary
The chemical diversity and the precision by which we are able to observe metabolism has taken a step change with the advent of metabolomics technology. Metabolomics is mostly used to gain insight in the biological system with highly specific underlying concepts while these standard methods provide a very generic view on the metabolism.
