CluMSID is a tool that aids the identification of features in untargeted LC-MS/MS analysis by the use of MS2 spectra similarity and unsupervised statistical methods. It offers functions for a complete and customisable workflow from raw data to visualisations and is interfaceable with the xmcs family of preprocessing packages.

The qmtools (quantitative metabolomics tools) package provides basic tools for processing quantitative metabolomics data with the standard SummarizedExperiment class. This includes functions for imputation, normalization, feature filtering, feature clustering, dimension-reduction, and visualization to help users prepare data for statistical analysis. This package also offers a convenient way to compute empirical Bayes statistics for which metabolic features are different between two sets of study samples. Several functions in this package could also be used in other types of omics data.

MWASTools provides a complete pipeline to perform metabolome-wide association studies. Key functionalities of the package include: quality control analysis of metabonomic data; MWAS using different association models (partial correlations; generalized linear models); model validation using non-parametric bootstrapping; visualization of MWAS results; NMR metabolite identification using STOCSY; and biological interpretation of MWAS results.

The MsQuality provides functionality to calculate quality metrics for mass spectrometry-derived, spectral data at the per-sample level. MsQuality relies on the mzQC framework of quality metrics defined by the Human Proteom Organization-Proteomics Standards Initiative (HUPO-PSI). These metrics quantify the quality of spectral raw files using a controlled vocabulary. The package is especially addressed towards users that acquire mass spectrometry data on a large scale (e.g. data sets from clinical settings consisting of several thousands of samples). The MsQuality package allows to calculate low-level quality metrics that require minimum information on mass spectrometry data: retention time, m/z values, and associated intensities. MsQuality relies on the Spectra package, or alternatively the MsExperiment package, and its infrastructure to store spectral data. Additionally, MsQuality supports Chromatograms objects from the Chromatograms package for chromatographic quality metrics.

Package performs summarization of replicates, filtering by frequency, several different options for imputing missing data, and a variety of options for transforming, batch correcting, and normalizing data.

MetaPhOR was developed to enable users to assess metabolic dysregulation using transcriptomic-level data (RNA-sequencing and Microarray data) and produce publication-quality figures. A list of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which includes fold change and p value, from DESeq2 or limma, can be used as input, with sample size for MetaPhOR, and will produce a data frame of scores for each KEGG pathway. These scores represent the magnitude and direction of transcriptional change within the pathway, along with estimated p-values.MetaPhOR then uses these scores to visualize metabolic profiles within and between samples through a variety of mechanisms, including: bubble plots, heatmaps, and pathway models.

Tools for 1D NMR metabolomics workflows, including import and preprocessing of Bruker experiments, multivariate modeling (PCA, PLS, OPLS) and model analytics and validation (y-permutations, cv-anova). Performance-critical routines are implemented in C++ and use the Armadillo and Eigen linear algebra libraries to improve runtime.

lcmsPlot is an R package designed for visualising Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) data with publication-ready high-quality plots. The package enables users to generate and customise chromatograms, mass traces, spectra, and more with fine-tuned aesthetics and annotation options.

Define utilities for exploration of human metabolome database, including functions to retrieve specific metabolite entries and data snapshots with pairwise associations (metabolite-gene,-protein,-disease).

The DNEA R package is the latest implementation of the Differential Network Enrichment Analysis algorithm and is the successor to the Filigree Java-application described in Iyer et al. (2020). The package is designed to take as input an m x n expression matrix for some -omics modality (ie. metabolomics, lipidomics, proteomics, etc.) and jointly estimate the biological network associations of each condition using the DNEA algorithm described in Ma et al. (2019). This approach provides a framework for data-driven enrichment analysis across two experimental conditions that utilizes the underlying correlation structure of the data to determine feature-feature interactions.

Annotates data from liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS) metabolomics experiments. Based on a network algorithm (O.Senan, A. Aguilar- Mogas, M. Navarro, O. Yanes, R.Guimerà and M. Sales-Pardo, Bioinformatics, 35(20), 2019), 'CliqueMS' builds a weighted similarity network where nodes are features and edges are weighted according to the similarity of this features. Then it searches for the most plausible division of the similarity network into cliques (fully connected components). Finally it annotates metabolites within each clique, obtaining for each annotated metabolite the neutral mass and their features, corresponding to isotopes, ionization adducts and fragmentation adducts of that metabolite.

An interactive platform that performs statistical analyses on metabolomics datasets and allows visualising results with ease. The interface gives users autonomy in creating figures suited to their reporting and publication needs.

In silico derivatization for GC. The GC-derivatization tool converts carbonyl groups to C═N-OCH3 (MeOX) and transforms acidic protons into -Si(CH3)3 (TMS). Key functionalities include checking for specific groups, removing derivatization groups, and adding derivatization groups to molecules.
