Outline of the nutritional phenotype database. (1) An intervention study provides many samples according to its study design, which is captured and stored in the study metadata database. (2) The samples undergo a variety of analyses (visualized by “Technology X”, which can be any of the modules on transcriptome, metabolite, protein, food intake, genetics, etc.), each with its specific and dedicated raw data storage, raw data pre-processing and storage of processed “clean data” in a dedicated database per analytical technology. (3) All “clean data” databases are interrogated based on study design and connected to a statistical and bioinformatics toolbox to elucidate the results
