The Da Vinci European BioBank: A Metabolomics-Driven Infrastructure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present here the organization of the recently-constituted da Vinci European BioBank (daVEB, https://www.davincieuropeanbiobank.org/it). The biobank was created as an infrastructure to support the activities of the Fiorgen Foundation (http://www.fiorgen.net/), a nonprofit organization that promotes research in the field of pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine. The way operating procedures concerning samples and data have been developed at daVEB largely stems from the strong metabolomics connotation of Fiorgen and from the involvement of the scientific collaborators of the foundation in international/European projects aimed to tackle the standardization of pre-analytical procedures and the promotion of data standards in metabolomics.

Enhancing Learning from Imbalanced Classes via Data Preprocessing: A Data-Driven Application in Metabolomics Data Mining
This paper presents a data mining application in metabolomics. It aims at building an enhanced machine learning classifier that can be used for diagnosing cachexia syndrome and identifying its involved biomarkers. To achieve this goal, a data-driven analysis is carried out using a public dataset consisting of 1H-NMR metabolite profile. This dataset suffers from the problem of imbalanced classes...
متن کاملMetabolomics provides new information on the changes occurring in thyroid tumours
Metabolomics is a part of systems biology dealing with the determination of qualitative and quantitative profile of low molecular weight compounds (metabolites) present in body fluids and tissues of living organisms. Metabolic composition is strongly dependent on the state of homeostasis and any deregulation should affect it. For this reason, there is now increased interest in metabolomics as a...
متن کاملMetabolomics Application in Exercise Metabolism Research: A Review Study
Metabolomics, is a comprehensive measure of small metabolites (<1500 Da), which has attracted enormous attention in the last two decades. Metabolomics, in particular investigates unique biochemical fingerprints left behind by specific cellular processes, which represent the metabolic status. Exercise metabolism researchers have started to use this method since 2007. Metabolomics has been used t...
