Abstract
Metabolites, the end products of gene expression in living organisms, are tightly correlated with an organism's development and growth. Thus, metabolic profiling is a potentially important tool for understanding the events that have occurred in cells, tissues, and individual organisms. Here, we present a method for predicting the developmental stage of zebrafish embryos using novel metabolomic non-target fingerprints of "single-embryos". With this method, we observed the rate of development at different temperatures. Our results suggest that this method allows us to analyse the condition, or distinguish the genotype, of single-embryos before expression of their ultimate phenotype.
