Integrated Development of Metabonomics and Its New Progress

Abstract In recent years, great progress has been made in the research fields of metabonomics. Metabonomics studies have an inevitable tendency of integration determined by their own characteristics and research mission. In the past few years, integrated development of metabonomics underwent internal integration (including technology integration, integrated analysis of various samples, and integration of data processing methods) and external integration (integrated metabonomics and other omics analysis). The integration has enhanced scientific foundation for metabonomics, leading to scientific and technological innovations. In this article, new progress on the integrated development of metabonomics was reviewed and the related application was prospected.
