Metabonomics

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 1277))

Abstract

Without any prior knowledge, it can be an overwhelming task to get an overview of and insight into the field of metabonomics. This chapter introduces the concept of metabonomics, the most commonly applied techniques, and the inevitably indispensable multivariate statistical analyses in an easily digestible yet comprehensive manner.
