The Time Is Right to Focus on Model Organism Metabolomes
The Time Is Right to Focus on Model Organism Metabolomes is a scholarly work by Christoph Steinbeck, Reza M. Salek, Kazuki Saito, Arthur Edison, Mark R. Viant, Robert D Hall, and Lloyd W Sumner, published in 2016 in ''Metabolites''. The main subjects of the publication include biology, focus, metabolic engineering, metabolomics, glossary of archaeology, model organism, computer science, data science, computational biology, organism, component, systems biology, and gene regulatory network. The authors propose a grand challenge for metabolomics studies of model organisms: to identify and map all metabolites onto metabolic pathways, to develop quantitative metabolic models for model organisms, and to relate organism metabolic pathways within the context of evolutionary metabolomics, i.e., phylometabolomics.
