Outline of R&D
The metabolome comprises all entire metabolites produced by an individual organism of a particular species. This project provides information regarding mass-spectral data and biological activities of metabolites, as well as fundamental data for use in studies of information flow from the genome to metabolome. To this end, the project creates a database from the results of chemical information on metabolomes from individual organisms and tissues, also including biochemical data and physiological- and pharmacological-activity data of individual metabolites. Furthermore, a model of wiki-type databases, which can be built at low cost and are sustainable, is established as a platform for producing new information about metabolomes.
