Powerful Solutions Tailored for Metabolomics Applications
Metabolomics has emerged as an exciting new area of biological research and gained substantial attention in recent years. Previously, significant efforts have been made to probe and understand the genomes, transcriptomes and proteomes of a variety of organisms. Despite massive investments to sequence and identify cellular DNA, RNA and proteins, our understanding of many key biological functions remains rudimentary and incomplete. Many researchers believe that perhaps more complete answers can be gleaned from studying small molecules that are utilized for a variety of metabolic and cellular functions. Because of this belief, in many laboratories, Metabolomics is catching up with traditional Proteomics and Transcriptomics efforts and has been christened “Biochemistry’s new look” [1]. |
