MsBackendMetaboLights
Bioc currentRetrieve Mass Spectrometry Data from MetaboLights
Release Lineage
Entered 3.20 · Oct 30, 2024
Current · Requires R 4.6
Description
MetaboLights is one of the main public repositories for storage of metabolomics experiments, which includes analysis results as well as raw data. The MsBackendMetaboLights package provides functionality to retrieve and represent mass spectrometry (MS) data from MetaboLights. Data files are downloaded and cached locally avoiding repetitive downloads. MS data from metabolomics experiments can thus be directly and seamlessly integrated into R-based analysis workflows with the Spectra and MsBackendMetaboLights package.
