Post-genomics era has witnessed the development of cutting-edge technologies that have
offered cost-efficient and high-throughput ways for molecular characterization of the function …

Metabolites reflect the integration of gene expression, protein interaction and other different
regulatory processes and are therefore closer to the phenotype than mRNA transcripts or …

Metabolomics is one omics approach that can be used to acquire comprehensive
information on the composition of a metabolite pool to provide a functional screen of the …

Metabolomics or the large-scale phytochemical analysis of plants is reviewed in relation to
functional genomics and systems biology. A historical account of the introduction and …

Medicinal plants are a rich source of highly diverse specialized metabolites with important
pharmacological properties. Until recently, plant biologists were limited in their ability to …

The mammalian gut microbiota interact extensively with the host through metabolic
exchange and co-metabolism of substrates. Such metabolome–metabolome interactions are …

The concept of metabolite profiling has been around for several decades, but only recent
technical innovations have allowed metabolite profiling to be carried out on a large scale …

The primary aim of “omic” technologies is the nontargeted identification of all gene products
(transcripts, proteins, and metabolites) present in a specific biological sample. By their …

This book has been written to meet the needs of students for biotechnology courses at
various levels of undergraduate and graduate studies. This book covers all the important …

Metabolomics is develo** as an important functional genomics tool; however, there is still
