Practical Approaches to Metabolomics

Practical Approaches to Metabolomics introduces the principles in metabolomics research, and the practical approaches employed. Methodologies for sample preparation, processing, and various in vitro and in vivo metabolite profiling analysis are presented. In addition, approaches for integrating metabolomics with proteomics and transcriptomics are demonstrated and discussed. Moreover, the background theory for major technologies including NMR and mass spectrometry as well as the design for bio- and chemoinformatics are provided, with illustrative examples throughout the text.
