Background

Xconnector is a software package designed to easily retrieve, and visualize metabolomics data from different database sources. The goal of Xconnector is to connect different metabolomics databases in one place. The first five databases implemented in Xconnector are:

The Human Metabolome Database HMDB.
The Livestock Metabolome Database LMDB.
The Yeast Metabolome Database YMDB.
The Toxin and Toxin Target Database T3DB.
ReSpect for Phytochemicals DataBase ReSpect.
KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes KEGG.
The Small Molecule Pathway Database SMPDB.

Workflow

This workflow summarizes how Xconnector works. Using a graphical user interface (GUI), the user could import different type of input as database IDs or keyword from a CSV file or text file. Then send it to the application programming interface (API), the API connect one or all databases to retrieve and parse the information that made hits with the user input. Finally, the API send it back to the GUI to be displayed for the user.

spursbyte commented 3 years ago

@Proteomicslab57357 will a college id card help? Since i am currently pursuing my btech (2nd year) my college provides transcript only after 4 years of study or btech completion.
