Combining metabonomics and other -omics data

Abstract

Combining molecular profiling data from multiple -omics platforms has the potential to provide a more comprehensive characterization of the biological system as well as improved prediction models for diagnostic applications compared to information derived from a single molecular profiling platform. In this chapter we outline analysis strategies for characterization of the genetic drivers of metabolism, joint pathway analysis in metabonomic and transcriptomic data and how metabonomic, and other -omics data can be combined to improve prediction models.
