MetabolomicsMetabolomics reveals an involvement of pantothenate for male production responding to the short-day stimulus in the water flea, Daphnia pulex
Under favorable conditions, the micro-crustacean Daphnia pulex produces female offspring by parthenogenesis, whereas in response to various unfavorable external cues, they produce male offspring to induce sexual reproduction (environmental sex determination: ESD). We recently established a suitable ...

MetabolomicsInvestigating the Mechanisms of Silver Nanoparticle Toxicity in Daphnia magna: A Multi-Omics Approach
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), one of the most common nanomaterials in use today, have been shown to enter the aquatic environment from use of commercially obtained products. Although acute toxicity has been shown in vitro and in vivo, there is still a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the molecu...

MetabolomicsDirect infusion mass spectrometry metabolomics dataset: a benchmark for data processing and quality control
Direct-infusion mass spectrometry (DIMS) metabolomics is an important approach for characterising molecular responses of organisms to disease, drugs and the environment. Increasingly large-scale metabolomics studies are being conducted, necessitating improvements in both bioanalytical and computatio...

MetabolomicsExperimental and computational approaches for deep metabolome annotation with application to the ecotoxicological model organism Daphnia magna

Identifying metabolomes with greater coverage and confidence is a critical step towards interpreting the metabolic basis of human and environmental health. Yet for over two decades the field of metabolomics has been inhibited by limited metabolite identification. To address this, we developed the...

MetabolomicsThe metabolic response of marine copepods to environmental warming and ocean acidification in the absence of food
Marine copepods are central to the productivity and biogeochemistry of marine ecosystems. Nevertheless, the direct and indirect effects of climate change on their metabolic functioning remain poorly understood. Here, we use metabolomics, the unbiased study of multiple low molecular weight organic me...

MetabolomicsBiodiversity in marine invertebrate responses to acute warming revealed by a comparative multi-omics approach
Understanding species' responses to environmental change underpins our abilities to make predictions on future biodiversity under any range of scenarios. In spite of the huge biodiversity in most ecosystems, a model species approach is often taken in environmental studies. To date, we still do not k...

MetabolomicsWolbachia modulation of lipid metabolism in Aedes albopictus mosquito cells
Certain strains of the intracellular endosymbiont Wolbachia can strongly inhibit or block the transmission of viruses such as dengue by Aedes mosquitoes, and the mechanisms responsible are still not well understood. Direct infusion and liquid chromatography FT-ICR mass spectrometry based lipidomicse...

MetabolomicsMetabolic phenotyping of urine from a dementia research cohort
To better understand the molecular mechanisms underpinning physiological variation in human populations, metabolic phenotyping approaches are increasingly being applied to studies involving hundreds and thousands of biofluid samples. Hyphenated ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectromet...

MetabolomicsVeterinary trypanocidal benzoxaboroles are peptidase-activated prodrugs (T. congolense assay)

Livestock diseases caused by Trypanosoma congolense, T. vivax and T. brucei, collectively known as nagana, are responsible for billions of dollars in lost food production annually. There is an urgent need for novel therapeutics. Encouragingly, promising antitrypanosomal benzoxaboroles are under v...

MetabolomicsSimultaneously discovering the fate and biochemical effects of pharmaceuticals through untargeted metabolomics
Untargeted metabolomics is an established approach in toxicology for characterising endogenous metabolic responses to xenobiotic exposure. Detecting the xenobiotic and its biotransformation products as part of the metabolomics analysis provides an opportunity to simultaneously gain deep insights int...
