Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Analysis of the plethora of metabolites found in the NMR spectra of biological fluids or tissues requires data complexity to be simplified. We present a graphical user interface (GUI) for NMR-based metabonomic analysis. The “Metabonomic Package” has been developed for metabonomics research as open-source software and uses the R statistical libraries. RESULTS:The package offers the following options: Raw 1-dimensional spectra processing: phase, baseline correction and normalization. Importing processed spectra. Including/excluding spectral ranges, optional binning and bucketing, detection and alignment of peaks. Sorting of metabolites based on their ability to discriminate, metabolite selection, and outlier identification. Multivariate unsupervised analysis: principal components analysis (PCA). Multivariate supervised analysis: partial least squares (PLS), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbor classification. Neural networks.Visualization and overlapping of spectra. Plot values of the chemical shift position for different samples. Furthermore, the “Metabonomic” GUI includes a console to enable other kinds of analyses and to take advantage of all R statistical tools. CONCLUSION:We made complex multivariate analysis user-friendly for both experienced and novice users, which could help to expand the use of NMR-based metabonomics.
