Abstract
Recent advances in mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques for lipidomic
analysis have empowered us with the tools that afford studies of
lipidomes at the systems level. However, these techniques pose a number
of challenges for lipidomic raw data processing, lipid informatics, and the interpretation of lipidomic data in the context of lipid
function and structure. Integration of lipidomic data with other
systemic levels, such as genomic or proteomic, in the context of
molecular pathways and biophysical processes provides a basis for the
understanding of lipid function at the
systems level. The present report, based on the limited literature, is
an update on a young but rapidly emerging field of lipid informatics and related pathway reconstruction strategies.
