Background:

• Omics data analysis requires specialized tools for quality control, exploration, and statistical analysis.
• Existing tools may lack comprehensive support for diverse omics data types or user-friendly interfaces.
• Reproducibility and ease of use are critical for advancing omics research.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce PMart, an enhanced web-based tool for omics data analysis.
• To provide a user-friendly interface for reproducible quality control, exploratory data analysis, and statistical analysis of diverse omics data.
• To improve upon existing tools by expanding data type support and enhancing visualization capabilities.

Main Methods:

• PMart is a web-based application built upon the pmartR R package.
• It supports label-free and isobaric-labeled proteomics, NMR and MS-based metabolomics, MS-based lipidomics, and RNA-seq transcriptomics.
• The tool features an improved user interface with enhanced statistical capabilities and downloadable graphics options.

Main Results:

• The enhanced PMart interface supports a wider range of omics data types.
• Additional statistical functionalities and improved options for creating downloadable graphics are now available.
• Built-in safeguards ensure appropriate method selection based on omics data type.

Conclusions:

• PMart offers a user-friendly, web-based solution for omics data analysis, eliminating the need for programming.
• The tool facilitates reproducible quality control, exploratory data analysis, and statistical comparisons across multiple omics disciplines.
• PMart empowers researchers to conduct comprehensive omics data analysis with enhanced efficiency and accessibility.
