Metabolomics

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Metabolomics studies an organism's metabolome, the complete set of small-molecule metabolites related to its genetic makeup, comparing genotype against physical and environmental factors.

Show

Cataloguing every small-molecule metabolite in a tissue sample is a metabolomic study, distinct from cataloguing that tissue's genes or proteins.

Watch for

A metabolome catalogues small-molecule metabolites specifically — a distinct level from the genome's sequence and the proteome's protein set.
