Elucidating the entire complexity of biological functions in the liver is vital to understand its key role in the progression of complex diseases. A new mouse study integrates complementary '–omics' data across various environmental states using the liver as a platform for multiomics analysis and identifies new mechanisms in hepatic mitochondrial function.
