Metabolome Informatics Research Team

Outline

Our team develops software platforms necessary for metabolomic analyses, network analyses and computer simulations. We also design databases for more efficient identification of metabolites. Our developments will be applied to integrated analysis of metabolomic and transcriptomic data from collaborating teams to enable systematic understanding of life.

Subjects

  1. Analysis and interpretation of metabolomic data
  2. Software development for metabolome analysis and simulations
  3. Integration of metabolic databases
Correlation network of metabolites in Arabidopsis
