Publication number: 20220037139Abstract: An IROA Matrix of metabolite compounds is disclosed. Each of whose compounds has a molecular weight of 2000 AMU or less, and is present as first and second isotopomers that are equally present at two predetermined isotopomeric balances, and contain 2 to 10% of a first isotope, and 90 to 98% of a second isotope, respectively. A reagent pair for transforming a natural abundance mass spectral analysis metabolite sample into an IROA sample is also disclosed and comprises two reactively identical reagents that constitute first and second isotopomers containing 2 to 10% of a first isotope, and 90 to 98% of a second isotope, respectively. Each of the reagent pair contains the same reactive group that reacts with and bonds to a functional group of one or more compounds present in a composition of biologically-produced metabolite compounds. Methods of making and using the above and related materials are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: IROA Technologies, LLCInventors: Christopher Beecher, Richard A.

Publication number: 20070288174Abstract: A system is provided for analyzing metabolomics data received from an analytical device across a group of samples. The system automatically receives a data matrix corresponding to each of the samples, wherein the data matrix includes rows corresponding to each of the samples and columns corresponding to a group of ions present in the respective samples. A processor is provided for determining a characteristic value corresponding to at least one of a group of components present in the samples, wherein the components are made up of at least a portion of the group of ions, using at least one of a correlation function and a factorization function. A user interface is in communication with the processor for displaying a visual indication of the characteristic value such that a user may receive a visual indication of the types of components present in the samples.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Inventors: Sidney Young, Thomas Barrett, Christopher Beecher

Patent number: 6873914Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for organizing complex and disparate data. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and systems for organizing complex and disparate data into coherent data sets. Coherent data sets resulting from the methods and systems of the present invention serve as models for biological systems. Methods and systems for integrating data and creating coherent data sets are useful for numerous biological applications, such as, for example, determining gene function, identifying and validating drug and pesticide targets, identifying and validating drug and pesticide candidate compounds, profiling drug and pesticide compounds, producing a compilation of health or wellness profiles, determining compound site(s) of action, identifying unknown samples, and numerous other applications in the agricultural, pharmaceutical, forensic, and biotechnology industries.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2002Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Icoria, Inc.Inventors: Stephanie Winfield, Norman Glassbrook, Yasmin Ranasinghe, David Broadwell, Ioana Popa-Burke, Gordon James Nye, Christopher Beecher
