Numerous biological processes and diseases are influenced by lipid composition. Advances in lipidomics are elucidating their roles, but analyzing and interpreting lipidomics data at the systems level remain challenging. To address this, we present iLipidome, a method for analyzing lipidomics data in the context of the lipid biosynthetic network, thus accounting for the interdependence of measured lipids. iLipidome enhances statistical power, enables reliable clustering and lipid enrichment analysis, and links lipidomic changes to their genetic origins. We applied iLipidome to investigate mechanisms driving changes in cellular lipidomes following supplementation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and successfully identified the genetic causes of alterations. We further demonstrated how iLipidome can disclose enzyme-substrate specificity and pinpoint prospective glioblastoma therapeutic targets. Finally, iLipidome enabled us to explore underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular disease and could guide the discovery of early lipid biomarkers. Thus, iLipidome can assist researchers studying the essence of lipidomic data and advance the field of lipid biology.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
