Omics Data

Omics Data

Metabolomics Data type

Study of small molecules (metabolites) within cells, biofluids, tissues, or organisms.

HMDB ID Identifier

Unique identifier from the Human Metabolome Database for metabolites.

LOD (Limit of Detection) Metric

The lowest quantity of a substance that can be distinguished from the absence of that substance.

Biofluid Data type

Biological fluid sample collected for analysis (e.g., blood, urine, plasma).

Date of Measurement Data type

The date when the sample was measured or analyzed in the laboratory.

Proteomics Data type

Large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions.

Experimental Method Data type

UniProt ID Identifier

Unique identifier from the UniProt database for proteins.

Abundance Metric

Relative quantity or concentration of a molecule (protein, metabolite, etc.) measured in omics experiments.

Fold Change Metric

Ratio of molecular abundance between two conditions, indicating up or down regulation.

Sequencing Technology Technology

Alpha Diversity Metric

Measure of microbial diversity within a single sample or community.

Sample Type Identifier

Classification of biological samples based on their source, collection method, or biological matrix.

Metagenomics Data type

Genomic analysis of microbial communities directly from environmental or clinical samples.

Microbiome Data type

Microbial Diversity Metric

Measure of the variety and abundance of different microbial species in a sample.

16S rRNA Sequencing Technology

Targeted sequencing method for identifying and classifying bacteria based on the 16S ribosomal RNA gene.

WGS (Whole Genome Sequencing) Abbreviation

Complete sequencing of an organism's entire genome, providing comprehensive genetic information.

Instrument (Sequencing) Technology

The specific sequencing hardware used to generate genomic data.
