The functional interpretation of high throughput metabolomics by mass spectrometry is
hindered by the identification of metabolites, a tedious and challenging task. We present a
set of computational algorithms which, by leveraging the collective power of metabolic
pathways and networks, predict functional activity directly from spectral feature tables
without a priori identification of metabolites. The algorithms were experimentally validated
on the activation of innate immune cells.
