Web-based resources for mass-spectrometry-based metabolomics: a user’s guide

Tohge, Takayuki, Fernie, Alisdair R.·2009·Phytochemistry

Abstract

In recent years, a plethora of web-based tools aimed at supporting mass-spectrometry-based metabolite profiling and metabolomics applications have appeared. Given the huge hurdles presented by the chemical diversity and dynamic range of the metabolites present in the plant kingdom, profiling the levels of a broad range of metabolites is highly challenging. Given the scale and costs involved in defining the plant metabolome, it is imperative that data are effectively shared between laboratories pursuing this goal. However, ensuring accurate comparison of samples run on the same machine within the same laboratory, let alone cross-machine and cross-laboratory comparisons, requires both careful experimentation and data interpretation. In this review, we present an overview of currently available software that aids either in peak identification or in the related field of peak alignment as well as those with utility in defining structural information of compounds and metabolic pathways.

  • Despite many initiatives, publicly accessible spectral data are still scattered across numerous web-based databases, printed tables, Excel files, and scientific books.

    “Despite the many initiatives to make spectral data sets available to the scientific community, the publicly accessible existing spectral data are still scattered over numerous Web-based (searchable) databases, printed tables in scientific journals, Excel files in supporting information, and scientific books (140, 149, 150).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
