Lipidome Projector: Web-Based Application for Quantitative and Qualitative Lipidome Comparison
Lipidome Projector is a web-based application designed to facilitate the comparison of lipidomes across different samples, conditions, or species. The tool enables researchers to visualize and analyze quantitative and qualitative differences in lipid profiles, providing insights into changes in lipid metabolism, regulation, and function.
Key Features:
- Structure-based lipidome embeddings: Lipidome Projector uses a novel approach to embed lipid structures into a lower-dimensional space, allowing for the visualization of complex lipidomes.
- Quantitative and qualitative comparison: The tool enables researchers to compare lipid profiles both quantitatively (e.g., changes in lipid abundance) and qualitatively (e.g., changes in lipid structure).
- Interactive visualization: Lipidome Projector provides an interactive interface for exploring and visualizing lipidomes, allowing users to zoom in/out, rotate, and select specific lipids or groups of lipids.
Benefits:
- Improved understanding of lipid metabolism: By comparing lipid profiles across different samples or conditions, researchers can gain insights into changes in lipid metabolism and regulation.
- Identification of biomarkers: Lipidome Projector can help identify potential biomarkers for diseases or disorders by highlighting changes in lipid profiles associated with specific conditions.
- Streamlined data analysis: The tool simplifies the process of comparing lipidomes, reducing the need for manual processing and allowing researchers to focus on interpreting results.
Technical Details:
- Input data: Lipidome Projector accepts tables of lipid abundances and lipidome sample features in simple CSV formats.
- Output data: The tool generates interactive visualizations of lipidomes, which can be exported as images or used for further analysis.
- Collaboration: Lipidome Projector allows users to share their projects with colleagues or collaborators, facilitating collaborative research.
