Summary:
Untargeted metabolomics data analysis is highly labour intensive and can be severely frustrated by both experimental noise and redundant features. Homologous polymer series is a particular case of features that can either represent large numbers of noise features or alternatively represent features of interest with large peak redundancy. Here, we present homologueDiscoverer, an R package that allows for the targeted and untargeted detection of homologue series as well as their evaluation and management using interactive plots and simple local database functionalities.
Availability And Implementation:
homologueDiscoverer is freely available at GitHub https://github.com/kevinmildau/homologueDiscoverer.
Supplementary Information:
Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
