MetaboLights Import

Import data from the MetaboLights database of metabolomics experiments
Martin A. Fitzpatrick

Introduction

MetaboLights is a cross-species, cross-technique database of metabolomics experiments and derived information. It aims to cover metabolite structures, reference spectra and biological roles, locations and concentrations, together with experimental data from metabolomic experiments. It hosts a number of metabolomic datasets which can be freely downloaded for analysis.

Quick start

This plugin supports the import of identity-annotated metabolite quantity files only, these are named beginning with 'm_'. Support for other MetaboLights file types and formats will be implemented in future. To import the data simply load the file. Metabolite name labels and data quantities will be shown on the 'Table' tab, however no automatic mapping to entities is currently supported.
