SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This workflow provides a structured, end-to-end approach for untargeted or targeted metabolomics data analysis, including preprocessing, normalization, annotation, statistics, and pathway mapping, reducing manual effort and increasing reproducibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Preprocessing: peak detection, alignment, and feature grouping for LC-MS/GC-MS data.
  • Normalization & Annotation: batch-aware normalization and metabolite identity annotation with confidence levels.
  • Statistical Analysis & Pathway Mapping: differential analysis and mapping to metabolic pathways for interpretation.
  • Use Case: Researchers analyzing a LC-MS untargeted study can generate feature tables, annotated metabolites, and pathway summaries in a reproducible workflow.

Quick Start

Load your metabolomics dataset and run the end-to-end workflow with default parameters to generate feature tables, annotated metabolites, and pathway mappings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I preprocess untargeted LC-MS metabolomics data for peak detection and alignment?

To preprocess untargeted LC-MS metabolomics data, the workflow performs peak detection, alignment, and feature grouping, generating structured feature tables ready for downstream statistical analysis.

What is the best way to normalize metabolomics data and annotate metabolite identities?

The best way to normalize metabolomics data involves batch-aware normalization, followed by metabolite identity annotation that assigns confidence levels to identified features for reliable interpretation.

Can I run an end-to-end metabolomics analysis workflow for both targeted and untargeted studies?

Yes, you can run an end-to-end metabolomics analysis workflow for both targeted and untargeted LC-MS or GC-MS studies, covering preprocessing, normalization, annotation, statistics, and pathway mapping.

Does this metabolomics workflow support pathway mapping for interpreting differential analysis results?

Yes, this metabolomics workflow supports pathway mapping by performing differential statistical analysis and mapping significant features to metabolic pathways, producing pathway summaries for biological interpretation.

How do I ensure reproducibility in GC-MS metabolomics data analysis?

To ensure reproducibility in GC-MS metabolomics data analysis, the workflow implements modular steps with versioned tools and reproducible parameters, generating layered outputs that support consistent reporting.

What is batch-aware normalization in metabolomics and when do I need it?

Batch-aware normalization in metabolomics is a preprocessing technique that corrects for systematic variations across different measurement batches, and is needed when processing multi-batch LC-MS or GC-MS datasets.
