Abstract

BACKGROUND: Metabolomics, the study of substrates and products of cellular metabolism, offers valuable insights into an organism's state under specific conditions and has the potential to revolutionise preventive healthcare and pharmaceutical research. However, analysing large metabolomics datasets remains challenging, with available methods relying on limited and incompletely annotated metabolic pathways.
