metabolomicsWorkbenchR

Software

This package provides functions for interfacing with the Metabolomics Workbench RESTful API. Study, compound, protein and gene information can be searched for using the API. Methods to obtain study data in common Bioconductor formats such as SummarizedExperiment and MultiAssayExperiment are also included.

The iModMix network-based method offers an integrated framework for analyzing multi-omics data, including metabolomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics data, enabling the exploration of intricate molecular associations within heterogeneous biological systems.

Use BridgeDb functions and load identifier mapping databases in R. It uses GitHub, Zenodo, and Figshare if you use this package to download identifier mappings files.

This package unifies access to Statistal Modeling of Omics Data. Across linear modeling engines (lm, lme, lmer, limma, and wilcoxon). Across coding systems (treatment, difference, deviation, etc). Across model formulae (with/without intercept, random effect, interaction or nesting). Across omics platforms (microarray, rnaseq, msproteomics, affinity proteomics, metabolomics). Across projection methods (pca, pls, sma, lda, spls, opls). Across clustering methods (hclust, pam, cmeans). Across survival methods (coxph, survdiff, coin). It provides a fast enrichment analysis implementation.

The package provides methods of combining the graph structure learning and generalized least squares regression to improve the regression estimation. The main function sparsenetgls() provides solutions for multivariate regression with Gaussian distributed dependant variables and explanatory variables utlizing multiple well-known graph structure learning approaches to estimating the precision matrix, and uses a penalized variance covariance matrix with a distance tuning parameter of the graph structure in deriving the sandwich estimators in generalized least squares (gls) regression. This package also provides functions for assessing a Gaussian graphical model which uses the penalized approach. It uses Receiver Operative Characteristics curve as a visualization tool in the assessment.

Non-parametric method for identifying differentially expressed (up- or down- regulated) genes based on the estimated percentage of false predictions (pfp). The method can combine data sets from different origins (meta-analysis) to increase the power of the identification.

MetaProViz can analyse standard metabolomics and exometabolomics data (CoRe). It performs pre-processing including feature filtering, missing value imputation, normalisation and outlier detection. It performs functional analysis including differential metabolite analysis (DMA), clustering based on regulatory rules (MCA) and contains different visualisation methods to extract biological interpretable graphs and saves them in a publication ready format.
