How large is the metabolome? A critical analysis of data exchange practices in chemistry.

<h4>Background</h4>Calculating the metabolome size of species by genome-guided reconstruction of metabolic pathways misses all products from orphan genes and from enzymes lacking annotated genes. Hence, metabolomes need to be determined experimentally. Annotations by mass spectrometry wo...
