Abstract

Small molecules are involved in multiple cellular processes, biological pathways, and can be used as biomarkers for diseases. The collective set of small molecules in cells is termed the metabolome and its study metabolomics. In this chapter we will show an example of analysis of metabolomics data from small molecules intensity data using the Wolfram Language. The approach will involve normalizing the data, carrying out differential expression analysis and obtaining putative identities for mass features of interest.
