Abstract
As lipidomics approaches its 25th anniversary, we explore how lipid research has matured over the years while highlighting emerging innovations that are expanding our ability to study these diverse, life-critical biomolecules. In particular, we showcase the community-driven, open-access databases, software, and educational resources made freely available through the ELIXIR Core Data Resource LIPID MAPS for the benefit of both established and new researchers.
