MBRole: enrichment analysis of metabolomic data
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED While many tools exist for performing enrichment analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic data in order to interpret them in biological terms, almost no equivalent tools exist for metabolomic data. We present Metabolite Biological Role (MBRole), a web server for carrying out over-representation analysis of biological and chemical annotations in arbitrary sets of metabolites (small chemical compounds) coming from metabolomic data of any organism or sample. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION The web server is freely available at http://csbg.cnb.csic.es/mbrole. It was tested in the main web browsers.

MBROLE 2.0—functional enrichment of chemical compounds
Metabolites Biological Role (MBROLE) is a server that performs functional enrichment analysis of a list of chemical compounds derived from a metabolomics experiment, which allows this list to be interpreted in biological terms. Since its release in 2011, MBROLE has been used by different groups worldwide to analyse metabolomics experiments from a variety of organisms. Here we present the latest...
متن کاملMSEA: a web-based tool to identify biologically meaningful patterns in quantitative metabolomic data
Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) is a widely used technique in transcriptomic data analysis that uses a database of predefined gene sets to rank lists of genes from microarray studies to identify significant and coordinated changes in gene expression data. While GSEA has been playing a significant role in understanding transcriptomic data, no similar tools are currently available for underst...

متن کاملEnrichment Analysis of Metabolic Pathways Using P-value Perturbation
Motivation: Assessing the enrichment of biological pathways is a critical problem in systems biology, which has received much attention in recent years. However, available methods often make simplifying assumptions about correlations among components of pathways, and/or rely on appropriate choices of input parameters and sizes of gene sets. In addition, current methods often focus on analysis o...
