I'm doing some initial academic research on tools used for metabolomics =
(definitions vary, basically described as the analysis of small-molecule =
metabolites present in cells in a particular physiological or =
developmental state).  It is complementary to proteomics and =
transcriptomics.

I am wondering two things.  First, are there any emerging tools or =
applications that are generally associated with this field of =
biochemistry?   Second, assuming applications exist, are there any =
implications for the IT platforms to support these applications ? =20

Any pointers to interesting web sites or personal insights would be =
appreciated.

thanks,

Jay
