A SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT USING A DATABASE IN A COMPUTING SYSTEM TO COMPILE AND COMPARE METABOLOMIC DATA OBTAINED FROM A PLURALITY OF SAMPLES

摘要

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.
