Metabolomics

Beschreibung

Small molecules (substrates and products of metabolism) and their interactions within a biological system are known as the metabolome. The scientific study of the metabolome comprises a "biochemical fingerprint" of a particular cell or tissue encompasses the field of metabolomics.Research shows a variety of approaches in the study of various metabolites and their interpretation in a biological context. The arena of metabolomics offers several applications like serving as the molecular phenotype, study evolutionary relationships, tracing toxicity studies and to study the phenotype caused by a genotype change. The field also offers avenues in environmental studies and scope of metabolites in nutrition.This book presents the research, concepts and various key aspects of the field of metabolomics with various techniques used in researching the metabolome and the applications of metabolomics. The authors hope that the book is a unique fingerprint as it offers a comprehensive tool to study the chemical fingerprints of various biological systems.

The field of work involved cloning of cell wall genes and transcription factors in E. coli & M. smegmatis. This was followed by a stint as a Research and Development Executive at Transasia Biomedicals, Mumbai where he worked on patent writing and developing immunoassays from 2011 till 2013. In 2013, he entered the teaching field where he has been tutoring biology and chemistry to the students of 11th and 12th grades along with English grammar and communication skills to people of all age groups. Dr Prerna Pandey, a biotechnologist with several years of wet lab research experience, worked at International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, New Delhi. She has also worked at Transasia Biomedicals and Advance Enzyme Technologies as a scientist. Prerna has published papers in peer-reviewed journals, and has submitted a number of annotated Geminiviral genome sequences in the GenBank, including two novel ones. Now, she works as a freelance scientific editor and writer.
