| Abstract | The emerging field of metabolomics enables researchers to measure concentrations of large numbers of metabolites in biofluids, and to interpret them in connection with the underlying metabolic network, which poses a significant challenge for manual analysis. Given a set of observations on metabolite concentration changes, our goal in this study is to employ automated reasoning, and provide researchers with possible metabolic action scenarios that may have occurred in the body to produce the observed metabolite changes. Our proposed methodology, called the Observed Metabolite Analysis, is to (1) computationally chase the implications of a given a set of metabolite concentration change observations in body fluids, relative to a control subject, (2) eliminate metabolic action scenarios, called hypothesis, that are invalid (i.e., those scenarios that could not have happened) (e.g., increased protein turnover), and (3) rank possibly valid metabolic action scenarios on the basis of pre-defined flux ratio information. We computationally evaluate the proposed methodology with typical metabolomics data, and demonstrate that (a) through consistency analysis against a small number of measured metabolite concentration changes, over 90% of the automatically generated hypotheses are invalidated with no manual analysis, (b) using summarization techniques, the entire hypothesis set is represented by a much smaller (2% of the original) hypothesis set, and (c) performing hypothesis generation and consistency checking in an interleaved manner leads to over 95% improvement in running time. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
