In studying biological processes from the perspective of entire organisms, populations, and ecosystems, scientists seek to reveal how complex traits and behaviors develop, and how diseases manifest. These chemical signals (metabolites) may be derived from host metabolism (endogenous metabolites) or the environment (diet, microbiota, therapeutics) and have been challenging to mechanistically elucidate.
