generation of metabolite profile and the interpretation of mecha-
nism underlying. In addition, combining with other omics tech-
nologies, such as transcriptomics and proteomics, to provide a
comprehensive insight into the molecular mechanism of biological
process in living system is a significant aim of metabolomics study.
Nowadays, rapid developments of bioinformatics accelerate investi-
gation of metabolomics and thus can make the investigators spend
more time in interpreting metabolism result and deciphering
molecular mechanism.
