Dealing with the unknown: Metabolomics and Metabolite Atlases

Bowen, Benjamin P., Northen, Trent R.·2010·Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry

Abstract

Metabolomics is the comprehensive profiling of the small molecule composition of a biological sample. Since metabolites are often the indirect products of gene expression, this approach is being used to provide new insights into a variety of biological systems (clinical, bioenergy, etc.). A grand challenge for metabolomics is the complexity of the data, which often include many experimental artifacts. This is compounded by the tremendous chemical diversity of metabolites. Identification of each uncharacterized metabolite is in many ways its own puzzle (compared with proteomics, which is based on predictable fragmentation patterns of polypeptides). Therefore, effective data reduction/prioritization strategies are critical for this rapidly developing field. Here we review liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/MS)-based metabolomics, methods for feature finding/prioritization, approaches for identifying unknown metabolites, and construction of method specific 'Metabolite Atlases'.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
