Abstract

The herbalome is a project with the objective of globalizing Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) by clarification of its composition, structure, and function; by establishing a standard resource library; and by interpreting the synergistic and complementary mechanisms of multi-components on multi-targets. In phase I, it focuses on the development of systematic separation methodology for resolving and analyzing the complex components in CHM and establishment of a comprehensive resource library. This review summarizes recent advances in the herbalome project with regard to innovative separation techniques and demonstration of a resource library.
