 The Metabolome are all of the metabolites(products of the cell) of an organism[1] The origin of the word is derived from a metabolite and a chromosome.

These include endogenous and exogenous metabolites such as amino acids and drugs respectively. Organisms naturally make endogenous metabolites whereas exogenous are not naturally made. A metabolite usually is less than 1500Da.[2]

The metabolome can be measured by Mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. References: ===
