37. “ Known ” Networks vs. Observed Correlations A schematic view of the simplified Calvin cycle with subsequent sucrose phosphate synthase in the cytoplasm. Pair-wise metabolite correlations obtained numerically from the model depicted to the left. All concentrations are given in arbitrary units. K. Morgenthal, W. Weckwerth, R.

Instrument Variability must be far less than biological variability to see anything! Power studies determine the number of subjects required to see biological effects
Power is probability of correctly declaring association between analyte intensity and disease (OR=2)
The real, biological relationship between analytes is reflected by correlations All pathway analysis tools rely on MFC, assumes Gaussian distribution
