What is Metabolomics?

Metabolomics is a research field to investigate the entire chemical compounds within cells. The analysis target, all metabolites, is called metabolome. Some say the field is be the 3rd omics that follows genomics for all genes and proteomics for all proteins. However, metabolomics is a much larger concept because DNAs, amino acids, and peptides are all metabolites. (BY Masanori Arita)

細胞内の代謝物を網羅的に解析しようとする学問分野を「メタボロミクス」と呼び、その対象である全代謝物を「メタボローム」と呼びます。遺伝子の総体を研究するゲノミクス、タンパク質の総体を研究するプロテオミクスに続く、第三のオミクスとも言われますが、DNAやアミノ酸、ペプチドも代謝物であることから、メタボロミクスは全てを包括する概念です。

About this site

Metabolomics.JP is a companion website of Metabolome.JP, both operated by Arita Group (The Univ of Tokyo & PSC) in collaboration with Nishioka Group (Keio Univ) and Kanaya Group (NAIST). These sites provide our academic research results as well as useful metabolic information around us. (More...)
