Abstract

The genome sequencing projects have shown our limited knowledge regarding gene function, e.g. S. cerevisiae has 5-6,000 genes of which nearly 1,000 have an uncertain function. Their gross influence on the behaviour of the cell can be observed using large-scale metabolomic studies. The metabolomic data produced need to be structured and annotated in a machine-usable form to facilitate the exploration of the hidden links between the genes and their functions.
