Break-out Groups:

Begin with your assigned data set and then move through to the next data set when done.

Student #01-10 - Begin with NMR and Bayesil.

Sub-groups for NMR
Students Data Set
1-2 #1
3-4 #2
5-6 #3
7-8 #4
9-10 #5

Student #11-20 - Begin with GC-MS and GCMS.

Student #21-34 - Begin with LC-MS and XCMS Online. note: seems to be working now

Data Set and Results Files:

NMR:
GC-MS:
LC-MS:

Small test datasets:

Description: a subset of 12 samples from the study Assignment of Endogenous Substrates to Enzymes by Global Metabolite Profiling.

Group WT: wild type; Group KO: knock out. Platform: HPLC Single Quad.

Large test datasets (warning: may take ~2 hours to upload this dataset to the XCMS Online server!):

Description: a subset of 38 samples from the study Pregnancy-Induced Metabolic Phenotype Variations in Maternal Plasma.

Group A: 13-16 weeks; Group B: 9-12 weeks. Platform: HPLC Orbitrap

Data Input:

Critical: before uploading your data, perform a sanity check:

  • It is a data table separated by comma (.csv) or tab (.txt);
  • Three types of labels: feature names, sample names and group labels (must directly follow sample names);
  • All measurements should be numerical values (empty for missing values);
  • For details and screenshot instructions, click here

  • CBW_NMR_result.csv (Bayesil output - need to remove annotations lines starting with #, keep one type of ID - name/HMDB ID)
  • CBW_GCMS_examples_cleaned_2015.csv (Auto-GCMS output - need to remove <LOD and NA values )
  • FAAH_cleaned_metaboanalyst.csv (peak intensity table from XCMSonline - small LC-MS data)
  • XCMS_cleaned_metaboanalyst.csv (peak intensity table from XCMSonline - big LC-MS data)
