Understanding metabolism is fundamental in biomedical and plant research and the identification and quantification of thousands of metabolites by mass spectrometry in modern metabolomics is a prerequisite for elucidating this area. However, the identification of metabolites is a major bottleneck in traditional approaches hampering advances. Here, we present a novel approach for the untargeted discovery of metabolite families offering a bird's eye view of metabolic regulation in comparative metabolomics. We implemented the presented methodology in the easy-to-use web application MetFamily to enable the analysis of comprehensive metabolomics studies for all researchers worldwide. MetFamily is available under http://msbi.ipb-halle.de/MetFamily/.
Hi, it might be that shinyBS is a non-needed dependency. When searching for shinyBS I only see outcommented usage in https://github.com/ipb-halle/MetFamily/blob/0c1c2149bf3daaf8ead52b950ed0b6860f319f62/inst/MetFamily/app_files/server_guiTabInput.R#L103 So maybe we can get rid of it. Although, there might be function calls without
shinyBS::. Needs checking. Yours, Steffen
