Workflow Project Templates for Metabolomics Analyses

Overview

This package provides reproducible workflow project templates for metabolomics analyses using the hrm R package ecosystem.

These project templates utilise a number of tools to promote efficient and reproducible analysis, agnostic of the actual analysis R code. These tools include:

  • targets - an R focused pipeline toolkit for efficiently maintaining reproducible analysis workflows.
  • renv - an R package for project-local R package dependency management for maintaining reproducible R package environments.
  • git - a widely used, open-source distributed version control system.
  • docker - enables the containerization of operating system (OS) level environments. This can be used to define reproducible OS environments in which a workflow analysis can be performed.

Project templates are available for the following metabolomic techniques:

  • FIE-HRMS fingerprinting
  • NSI-HRMS fingerprinting
  • RP-LC-HRMS profiling
  • NP-LC-HRMS profiling
  • GC-MS profiling
