- Why has GC-MS (gas chromatography- electron impact ioniation- mass spectrometry) had such enduring value for the field of metabolomics? How do we identify metabolites based on mass spectrometry data?I hope you'll enjoy this video explaining the basics of GC-MS and the spectral library methods we use for explaining these spectra!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTWXkHPHEI0#bioinformatics#metabolomics #GCMS
- Why would we choose to measure just a few metabolites instead of doing a broad untargeted survey? In two words: "quantitative precision"This is the first lecture recording I have produced with my new home video setup!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYY31STDYHA#metabolomics
- I really appreciated this detailed post from Nicola Zamboni on #bioinformatics for #metabolomics !https://metabolomics.blog/2026/03/how-we-analyze-untargeted-metabolomics-data/

- Mathematical modelling led by @tsukushi_kamiya reveals the role of #nutrients in the stability of the vaginal #microbiota in a way that is consistent with #genomics and #metabolomics data shared by Jacques Ravel. This is one of the rare #models on this understudied #microbiome. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3003575🙏 Thanks to the #FRM for funding Tsukushi's post-doctoral fellowship and to @PeerCommunityIn for the #open peer-review process ( @PLOSBiology editors did not require any additional review!).
- New preprint!An Integrated Multi-omic Analysis Reveals Novel Gene-Metabolite Relationships in Human Steatohepatitic Hepatocellular Carcinomahttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.28.26344977v1Colleagues took paired samples of hepatocellularcarcinoma from several patients (8), and did bulk RNA-Seq, lipidomics, and metabolomics on the samples.We analyzed the data to see what was different in each modality, as well as what correlations could be found between RNA-Seq and metabolomics.#Bioinformatics #Metabolomics
- Y'all. I was having a full on Pikachu face today when I found discrepancies in what metabolites were included in my datasets and what were included in a colleagues datasets when we processed identical experiments from Metabolomics Workbench (I am borrowing some stuff they did with the exact same experiments to supplement my own work).Digging into it, I'm removing things that are missing across more than X number of samples, the colleague kept everything. 😮💨#Metabolomics #Bioinformatics
- New lab paper is out! We've released our python package mwtab v2 for interacting with the Metabolomics Workbench (MW) website, and updated the file status website with some measures of issues with the data available from MW!A Major Update and Improved Validation Functionality in the mwtab Python Library and the Metabolomics Workbench File Status Websitehttps://doi.org/10.3390/metabo16010076If you want a programmatic way to get data from MW, this might be useful.#Bioinformatics #Metabolomics
