Abstract

The metabolome is considered the closest entity to the phenotype of a biological system. It displays the changes made at higher hierarchical levels such as the proteome, transcriptome and genome. For many diseases including cancer, studying the metabolome enables us to gain a better understanding of global biological response of cancer cells in the progression of the disease. Revealing the complexity of the metabolome is particularly advantageous to understand the phenotypic function of a cancer cell that is governed by the preceding levels (proteins, transcription factors and genes).
