O-PLS & Metabonomics
July-2010
INTRODUCTION
Recently, postgenomic technologies, including transcriptomic and
proteomic methods, have been developing as a means of generating
high information content biological assays for disease diagnoses or for
evaluating the beneficial or adverse effects of pharmaceuticals
Metabonomics is an emerging complementary postgenomic technology
and involves the determination of the levels and time dependence of
low molecular mass endogenous metabolites in biofluids such as
urine, plasma, or in tissues, as a result of some pathophysiological
effect.
From simulation studies, variation of peak position can reduce slightly the
prediction ability of the model, but at the same time , this peak position
variation can be modeled by the pattern recognition method and
therefore may provide:
For any other analytical techniques (i.e., LC-MS), where peak position
variation is often considered as problematic, it may also be the case.
