Metabolomics and Proteomics

Lipidomics

Lipidomics is an increasing field with plentiful applications. For investigating different cell types ESI mass spectroscopy is used. Identification of lipid composition and quantification of cellular lipids gives us details about the lipid related pathway which also helps in identification of metabolic pathways and the effected enzymes. The need for bioinformatics is to manage and integrate the experimental data in various aspects, such as, for lipid classification, ontologies, database design, analysis, and visual display and play diverse roles in human physiology.
