“…Unlike measures generated from genomics, small molecules represent the products of endogenous metabolism, in addition to products of environmental exposure (including lifestyle, diet, and other environmental exposures), individual-specific metabolism driven by underlying genetics, gut microbial influences, and the presence or absence of disease or pathological processes. Data derived from untargeted metabolomics have been used to interrogate the mechanisms underlying exposure-disease relationships and treatment or intervention effects as well as to understand the metabolic phenotype at the human population level (Dunn et al, 2015, Ilhan et al, 2019, Gafson et al, 2019, Bouhifd et al, 2013, Ramirez et al, 2013, Crestani et al, 2019, Hollister et al, 2019, Hu et al, 2019, Lains et al, 2019, Rangel-Huerta et al, 2019, Yu et al, 2019, Cao et al, 2019, Shi et al, 2019, Blacher et al, 2019, Wilmanski et al, 2019, Tang et al, 2019, Plaza-Diaz et al, 2019, de Groot et al, 2019, Wittemans et al, 2019, Tziotzios et al, 2019, Burrage et al, 2019, McCullough et al, 2019, Olson et al, 2018, Zambrana et al, 2019, Sato et al, 2019, Rebholz et al, 2019, Isganaitis et al, 2019, Gangler et al, 2019, Cirulli et al, 2019, Shin et al, 2014.…”
