A method, computer-readable medium, and system for identifying one or more metabolites associated with a disease, comprising: comparing gene expression data from diseased cells to gene expression data from control cells in order to deduce genes that are differentially-regulated in the diseased cells relative to the control cells; based on enzyme function and pathway data for all human metabolites that utilize the genes that are differentially-regulated in the disease cells, identifying one or more metabolites whose intracellular levels are higher or lower in diseased cells than in control cells, and thereby associating the one or more metabolites with the disease.
