Metabolomics

Metabolomics publishes current research on the development of technology platforms for metabolomics, including metabolomic applications in pre-clinical and clinical settings, pharmacometabolomics for precision medicine, metabolic profiling and fingerprinting, metabolite target analysis, applications in animals, plants and microbes, and the integration of transcriptomics and proteomics in systems biology. The journal focuses on post-genomics approaches that explore networks and interactions between metabolites, pharmaceuticals, SNPs, proteins, and related big-data-driven emerging technologies.
