APPLICATIONS: Genomics research BACKGROUND: Metabolomics has been used for obtaining direct measures of metabolic activities from diverse biological systems. However, metabolomics can be limited by ambiguous metabolite identifications. Furthermore, interpretation can be limited by incomplete and inaccurate genome-based predictions of enzyme activities (e.g., gene … [Read more...] about Metabolite, Annotation and Gene Integration System (MAGI) and Software 2017-063, 2017-105
