The document discusses methodologies for mapping metabolites to metabolic pathways, emphasizing data acquisition, processing, and the use of various databases such as KEGG, Reactome, and MetaboAnalyst. It provides a step-by-step approach to identifying metabolites, aligning them with pathways, and conducting statistical analysis on their significance. Key points highlight the complexity of metabolic mapping, including limitations in database coverage and the need for careful interpretation of pathway relationships.
