Metabolomics is the part of life sciences concerned with measuring and studying the behaviour of metabolites (small biochemical compounds) in biological systems. The field has grown considerably in the last 20 years with conferences and dedicated journals. A large part of the applications concern finding biomarkers for diseases which translates into finding the metabolites that discriminate between groups of objects (e.g., control versus diseased subjects). Elaboration 1.3 shows some of the terms used in metabolomics research.
