The last decade has witnessed dramatic advances in our ability to determine the levels of an ever broadening range of metabolites. That said, while transcriptomic approaches provide almost complete coverage (González-Ballester et al., 2010) and proteomics approaches are now capable of detecting upwards of 45% of the cellular protein complement (Baerenfaller et al., 2008), metabolomics is curren...
