Abstract
Metabolomics allows for the simultaneous determination of all metabolites in a system. Despite significant advances in the field, compound identification remains a challenge. Prior knowledge of the compound classes of interest which are appropriate to a system can help to can help to improve metabolite identification. Hormones are a small signaling molecules, which function in coordination to direct all aspects of development, function and reproduction in living systems and which also pose challenges as environmental contaminants. By nature of their function, hormones are present at low levels in tissues, stored in many forms and mobilized rapidly in response to a stimulus making them difficult to measure, identify and quantify. Hormonomics is a new method for identification of all known and predicted hormones, their precursors, storage forms and metabolites in a biological system. We developed HormonomicsDB a tool which can be used to query an untargeted mass spectrometry (MS) dataset against a database of more than 200 known hormones, their precursors and metabolites. The protocol encompasses sample preparation, analysis, and data processing and is designed to minimize degradation of labile hormones. The plant system is used a model to illustrate the workflow and data acquisition and interpretation. Analytical conditions were standardized to a 30 min analysis time using a common solvent system to allow for easy transfer by a researcher with basic knowledge of MS. Incorporation of synthetic biotransformations algorithms allows for prediction of novel metabolites and conjugates. We performed a meta-analysis of 14 liquid chromatography-MS plant metabolomics studies using our HormonomicsDB web-tool. This protocol is suitable for use on any liquid chromatography-MS based system with compatible column and buffer system and enables the characterization of the known hormonome across a diversity of samples, as well as hypothesis generation to reveal knew insights into hormone signaling networks. Contained in this repository is the supporting information for this publication, including the summary list of all hormones archived in HormonomicsDB, and information from the meta-analysis described in this publication.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
