Metabolon’s new multiomics guide and webinar demystify complex omics technologies and illuminate how integrated multiomics is transforming life science research
MORRISVILLE, N.C., Oct. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Metabolon, Inc., the global leader in providing metabolomics solutions advancing a wide variety of life science research, diagnostic, therapeutic development, and precision medicine applications, announces the release of a new educational resource, the “Guide to Multiomics.” This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of multiomics technologies that are revolutionizing our understanding of biological systems and disease mechanisms. By integrating data from multiple sources such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiome studies, multiomics provides a synergistic approach to understanding the complexities of living organisms at multiple biological levels.

“Multiomics research allows us to construct a holistic view of an organism’s biological blueprint, revealing intricate interactions within cells that were once beyond our grasp,” stated Ro Hastie, CEO at Metabolon. “Our new guide demystifies each omic technology and illuminates the power of their collective capabilities through real-world examples demonstrating how these technologies are transforming life science research.”
The “Guide to Multiomics” describes the scientific principles underlying each omic layer and their integration. For example, a multiomic study on Crohn’s disease (CD) patients combined transcriptomics, metabolomics, and microbiome datasets to identify vital genetic-environment interactions contributing to CD onset. Furthermore, key dietary elements such as manganese, vitamin D, and coffee were positively correlated with a healthy microbiome. This study highlights the need for multiomic research.
Accompanying the guide’s release, Metabolon also offers a new webinar, “Metabolomics in Multiomics Research,” hosted by Dr. Brian Keppler, Director of Discovery and Translational Sciences at Metabolon. This webinar explores the pivotal role of metabolomics within the multiomics framework, discussing five key publications highlighting the impact of integrated omic strategies. Participants will gain insights into the design and application of multiomic studies, learning targeted and untargeted metabolomics techniques to enhance their understanding of disease pathways and biological processes.

About MetabolomicsMetabolomics, the large-scale study of all small molecules in a biological system, is the only omics technology that provides a complete current-state functional readout of a biological system. Metabolomics helps researchers see beyond the genetic variation of individuals, capturing the combined impact of genetic and external factors such as the effect of drugs, diet, lifestyle, and the microbiome on human health. By measuring thousands of discrete chemical signals that form biological pathways in the body, metabolomics can reveal important biomarkers, enabling a better understanding of a drug’s mechanism of action, pharmacodynamics, and safety profile, as well as individual responses to therapy.

 Simplifying data discovery and empowering business users with data marketplaces  
ROUND ROCK, Texas, Oct. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Actian, the data and analytics division of HCLSoftware, today announced the Actian Zeenea Federated Data Catalog, which decentralizes control of data while enabling enterprise-wide visibility and governance. The Actian Zeenea Federated Data Catalog, a feature of the Zeenea Data Discovery Platform, is the first new offering since Actian acquired Zeenea in September 2024 to offer a data intelligence solution enabling customers to discover, govern, and maximize the value of their data assets. 

Organizations need access to trusted data to gain insight into business conditions, drive better customer experiences, and create new products and solutions. However, traditional centralized data governance models create bottlenecks that slow innovation and decision-making.
“For too long, organizations have been hampered by data silos and rigid governance structures, resulting in the proliferation of unconnected data pools that the rest of the business cannot leverage,” said Guillaume Bodet, CPTO at Actian Zeenea. “Our Federated Data Catalog democratizes data by decentralizing governance and giving domains autonomy over their metadata, which results in deeper insights based on a broader set of organizational data.”
The Actian Zeenea Federated Data Catalog promotes a decentralized approach to metadata management aligned with domain-oriented ownership, data as a product, self-service access, collaboration for sharing data, and consistent governance. The Federated Data Catalog also enables organizations to establish an Enterprise Data Marketplace, where data can be curated, shared, and consumed as products.
“The ability to find, access, and govern data while adhering to security controls and compliant usage policies has never been more challenging,” said Doug Henschen, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research. “Data catalogs, like the Actian Zeenea Federated Data Catalog, have become essential to data initiatives to provide awareness of available data within the guardrails of access controls, usage policies, privacy constraints, and regulatory compliance.”
A decentralized approach to metadata management
The Actian Zeenea Federated Data Catalog leverages a domain-oriented data management approach where the teams most familiar with the data manage their own data assets, permissions, and governance in a dedicated area of the data catalog. Domains can then publish their curated data in a shared area of the catalog for consumption by all business functions. All users – from technical experts to business users – have self-service access to discover and consume the data via the catalog’s intuitive, search engine-like interface. A powerful knowledge graph provides deeper understanding of the concepts and entities, as well as the relationships between them.
Additionally, the Federated Data Catalog establishes the foundation for an Enterprise Data Marketplace where the most valuable assets are shared. The Enterprise Data Marketplace uses an e-commerce-like experience to make data products available to other domains while still maintaining control over who can access or modify them. The common business glossary enables cross-functional teams to collaborate more effectively by aligning on shared terms and definitions.
The Actian Zeenea Federated Data Catalog is available immediately as part of the Zeenea Data Discovery Platform.
About Actian Actian makes it easy to deliver trusted, high-quality data with a complete set of data management and intelligence portfolio that enables people to discover, manage, and analyze data. With Actian, customers can transform into data-driven organizations that make confident business decisions and accelerate growth. We offer customers choice with a full stack of data solutions delivered via the cloud, hybrid, and on-premises. Actian is a division of HCLSoftware.
