Abstract:

Metabolomics is a new bioinformatics area that has great potential for diagnosing certain kinds of disease, assessing drug toxicity early, and improving understanding of biochemical pathways. Progress depends on statistical characterization of the measurement process and the ability to make cross-platform comparisons. Doing this requires appropriate algorithms to baseline-correct signals in the mass spectrometry, extract abundances from apparent peaks, and describe variance components associated with each part of this complex measurement process.
