Why has GC-MS (gas chromatography- electron impact ioniation- mass spectrometry) had such enduring value for the field of metabolomics? How do we identify metabolites based on mass spectrometry data?

I hope you'll enjoy this video explaining the basics of GC-MS and the spectral library methods we use for explaining these spectra!

Why would we choose to measure just a few metabolites instead of doing a broad untargeted survey? In two words: "quantitative precision"

This is the first lecture recording I have produced with my new home video setup!

How we analyze untargeted metabolomics data - yet another metabolomics club

As a lab primarily interested in metabolomics applications, our publications usually focus on the biological results and their relevance. Much more rarely do we describe the infrastructure that turns raw LC-MS/MS data into detected features, annotations, and ultimately the files that accompany a publication, whether tables, mzTab exports, or other deliverables. We sometimes allude to […]

yet another metabolomics club
Researchers discovered that a metabolite known as pTOS, which drastically elevates in #pythons after large meals, successfully reduces food intake and drives weight loss in #obese laboratory mice.

Pythons’ feast-and-famine life hints at new weight-loss pathway

A molecule that increases by a thousandfold in ball pythons after they eat holds promise for a weight-loss drug

Mathematical modelling led by @tsukushi_kamiya reveals the role of #nutrients in the stability of the vaginal #microbiota in a way that is consistent with #genomics and #metabolomics data shared by Jacques Ravel. This is one of the rare #models on this understudied #microbiome.

🙏 Thanks to the #FRM for funding Tsukushi's post-doctoral fellowship and to @PeerCommunityIn for the #open peer-review process ( @PLOSBiology editors did not require any additional review!).

Resource landscape shapes the composition and stability of the human vaginal microbiota

The vaginal microbiota is shaped by bacterial access to specific nutritional resources, influencing health outcomes. This study uses a resource-based model supported by clinical data to identify key ecological mechanisms underlying microbiota composition and potential bacterial vaginosis interventions.
