To identify genes related with glycyrrhizin biosynthesis in the nonmodel plant Glycyrrhiza (fabaceae or beans family), the authors searched for candidate ESTs whose expression patterns coincided with the accumulation pattern of glycyrrhizin. The method is labor-intensive, and its acceleration is one of the major goals of metabolomics.

The authors explain five patterns of false-positives that have been overlooked in previous assessments in proteomics. The error patterns can be directly interpreted in terms of metabolomics and are useful for developing better identification algorithms.
