Why is it important?
Metabolites function as both reactants and products of metabolic reactions. However, they also serve as regulatory molecules of proteins, affecting the structure and control of protein interaction and gene regulatory networks. This dual role of metabolites ensures that metabolomics is an integral aspect of systems biology research.
Perspectives
There is a great need for standardised integrated multi-omic analyses for the comprehensive understanding of the cellular physiology with significant applications in biomedicine and all the spectrum of biotechnology. Thus, establishing standardized protocols of multi-omic (i.e. metabolomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and interactomic) data representation, integration, visualization and interpretation is of great importance.
