Biomarker Lenses^TM

Biomarker Lenses^TM Overview

Biomarker Lenses^TM in Metabolon’s Bioinformatics Platform are tools that enhance the exploration of metabolomic data by parsing the data into more digestible pieces. Biomarker Lenses^TM accomplishes this by grouping the metabolites associated with specific biological functions, pathways, or diseases, thus allowing users to focus on the most relevant areas of biology in the context of their study. The concept of Biomarker Lenses^TM stems from the need to sift through the vast array of metabolites and identify the multiple relationships metabolites have to pathways and diseases. The Biomarker Lenses^TM available within Metabolon’s Bioinformatics Platform include Pathway Biomarker Lenses^TM, Disease Biomarker Lenses^TM, and Custom Biomarker Lenses^TM.

Elucidate Biological Meaning

Biomarker Lenses^TM Features

Pathway Biomarker Lenses^TM

Pathway Biomarker Lenses^TM are defined by a linked series of chemical reactions that occur in a defined order within or between cells and lead to a known function or end product. Utilizing these Biomarker Lenses^TM allows researchers to visualize perturbations in metabolites that participate in defined biochemical processes, providing insights into metabolic pathways.

Disease Biomarker Lenses^TM

Like Pathway Biomarker Lenses^TM described above, Disease Biomarker Lenses^TM are predefined sets but are focused on metabolites known to be associated with diseases. By employing Disease Biomarker Lenses^TM, you can filter data to uncover how metabolite profiles correlate with disease states, aiding in biomarker discovery and the understanding of disease mechanisms.

Custom Biomaker Lenses^TM

Custom Biomarker Lenses^TM offer the flexibility to create personalized filters. Users can define their own Biomarker Lenses^TM by grouping metabolites based on their research needs, such as a set of metabolites of interest or those that respond to a particular treatment. This feature empowers users to tailor the analysis to their unique investigative focus.
