  • Patent number: 8175816
    Abstract: The present invention generates a visual display of metabolomic data compiled by a database and associated processor. More particularly, the present invention provides a database for automatically receiving a three-dimensional spectrometry data set for a group of samples. The present invention also provides a processor device for manipulating the data sets to produce plots that are directly comparable to a plurality of characteristic plots corresponding to a plurality of selected metabolites. Furthermore, the processor device may generate a visual display indicating the presence of the selected metabolites across the group of samples. Thus, the present invention enables a user to analyze a series of complex data sets in a visual display that may indicate the presence of the selected metabolites across the group of samples. Furthermore, the visual display generated by embodiments of the present invention also expedites the subjective analysis of the spectrometry data sets.

  • Patent number: 7561975
    Abstract: 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.
