Abstract
Metabolomics is the study of identification and quantification of small molecules present in biological systems. Metabolomics analyses of biological samples involves getting a metabolic profile using analytical technologies and analyzing the data generated by these platforms to gain insight into the system’s metabolic state. This article presents an overview of the software tools and methods used for the analysis, visualization and interpretation of metabolomics data. Specifically, this article details metabolomics workflows, metadata, standards in metabolomics, data processing and workflow softwares, metabolomics experiments repositories, metabolomics databases and statistical analysis methods for analyzing metabolomics data.
