MASCM - Metabolomics Subcommittee

Subcommittee goals and priorities:

Since metabolomics is an important component of Arabidopsis omics, a continuous goal of this subcommittee will be to promote metabolomics research of Arabidopsis leading to functional genomics and systems biology. For this purpose we plan to establish a website for the initial process of consolidating Arabidopsis metabolomics activities making them more visible for the community. Full integration of Arabidopsis-based metabolomics research with the activity of the Metabolomics Society <http://www.metabolomicssociety.org/> is also an important goal of this subcommittee. Several members of the subcommittee are involved in drawing up the plant biology specific documentation for the Metabolomics Society. In addition this committee will aim to establish a mechanism that allows the dissemination of metabolomics datasets to the wider Arabidopsis community and encourage and facilitate initiatives for the integration of metabolomic datasets with other omic datasets. This will involve depositing metabolomic data in a usable format for data integration.
