Explorers mapped the world. Cartographers gave us details. But we still do not know what we eat, the biochemical compounds in our food. Or in other plants, animals or microbes. Which metabolites are exclusively found in which species? How does human metabolism differ from apes and other primates? Which compounds should we expect in organs, and at which levels? How does metabolism change when we age? What is 'normal' or 'healthy? And how much will metabolism be impacted by diets, exercise or disease?
That's why. We start now. And we need many more maps and atlases to give us answers!
The metabolome atlas of the aging mouse brain currently contains 1,547 annotated metabolites. Users are able to explore the distribution of interested metabolites across 10 anatomical brain regions over 4 ages, results will be presented in a mapping form.
The Primary Metabolism Atlas of Animals, Plants, Microbes and Fungi - explore compounds found in BinBase, from the Fiehn Lab at the University of California, Davis. Contains 1,463 annotated metabolites with GC-TOF mass spectra from >2,500 studies on >80 species with >150 organs.
A comprehensive atlas of the mouse metabolome and lipidome. From Tom Cajka and the Laboratory of Metabolomics at the Institute of Physiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
Coming soon Comparing 16 adult mammals using lipidomics and untargeted metabolomics.
Coming soon Data mining from scientific literature with more than 42,000 identified compounds for all chemicals found in the blood.
