Conclusion
We offer MetaPro as a web-based application characterized by fast batch QC inspection and credible spectral curation towards high-throughput metabolomics data. It aims to resolve the analysis difficulty in semi-targeted metabolomics.
Methods
MetaPro is developed based on an industrial-grade web framework and a computation-oriented MS data format to improve analysis efficiency. Algorithms from mainstream metabolomics software are integrated and optimized for more accurate quantification
Results
MetaPro supports semi-targeted analysis workflow and functions for fast QC inspection and self-made spectral library curation with easy-to-use interfaces. With curated authentic or high-quality spectra, it can improve identification accuracy using different peak identification strategies. It demonstrates practical value in analyzing large amounts of metabolomics samples.
