Σύνοψη	Time-series metabolomics analysis profiles small-molecule metabolites from biological samples collected at multiple, ordered time points, enabling researchers to capture the dynamic flux of metabolic pathways in response to stimuli, disease progression, drug treatment, or developmental change. By integrating longitudinal statistical models with standard metabolomics preprocessing, the approach goes beyond a static metabolic snapshot to reveal how, when, and in what sequence metabolic responses unfold.	Time-series RNA-seq differential expression analysis identifies genes whose expression levels change systematically across ordered time points — such as during development, disease progression, or response to a treatment. Unlike two-condition DE analysis, it explicitly models the temporal structure of the data, capturing dynamic gene expression trajectories rather than a single snapshot contrast. Tools such as maSigPro, ImpulseDE2, and splineTimeR have been developed specifically for this design.
