תקציר	Differential metabolomics analysis is a computational pipeline that identifies metabolites whose abundance levels differ significantly between two or more biological conditions — such as disease versus control, treated versus untreated, or different developmental stages. By integrating mass spectrometry or NMR data with statistical modelling and pathway databases, it translates raw spectral measurements into biologically interpretable lists of perturbed metabolic features and the pathways they implicate.	Machine learning-assisted metabolomics analysis is an integrative bioinformatics pipeline that couples untargeted or targeted metabolite profiling — via mass spectrometry or NMR — with supervised and unsupervised ML algorithms to discover biomarkers, classify phenotypes, and model metabolic states. By handling the extreme dimensionality and collinearity inherent in metabolomics datasets (hundreds to thousands of features, tens to hundreds of samples), ML methods such as random forests, support vector machines, and neural networks extract biologically interpretable patterns that classical univariate statistics routinely miss.
