Metabolomics is a growing “omics” field in investigational research and
clinical care. Metabolomics is the study of metabolome, including both endogenous
and exogenous small molecules generated in the body viametabolic processes. This
discipline is young compared to its complements, such as genomics or transcriptomics.
However, it promises to be a powerful tool for understanding normal and diseased
physiological states and informing clinicians in diagnosing and treating patients. This
chapter summarizes the concept of metabolomics, describes the metabolomic
approaches, and provides a practical workflow of metabolomic data analysis to
illustrate the current and potential applications of metabolomics in precision medicine.
Keywords: Approach, Data Analysis, Metabolites, Metabolomics, Precision
Medicine.
