What is Metabolomics?

Metabolomics is a research field to investigate the entire small molecules within cells. By definition, it includes analysis of oligosaccharides, oligopeptides, lipids, and nucleic acids. The analysis target, all metabolites, is called metabolome. Some say the field is the 3rd omics that follows genomics for all genes and proteomics for all proteins. However, metabolomics is a larger concept, including (small) peptides and nucleic acids. To elucidate the metabolome, we need to fully exercise various extraction- and measurement technologies.
