CropRefMetaBlast

CropRefMetaBlast allows users to upload sample LC-MS datafiles in standard formats (mzML, mzXML, or mzData), and uses our pipeline to perform metabolite annotation on the samples. The pipeline consists of three steps: 1) extracting peaks from uploaded sample spectra; 2) annotating the peaks with matched ones from the selected reference metabolome; 3) reporting the sample spectra profiles, matched metabolites, and related statistics.

Note: tips for using CropRefMetaBlast

1. Sample LC-MS datafiles must contain high-resolution LC-MS data collected off an instrument with centroid mode.
2. Sample LC-MS datafiles from different instruments can be converted to standard formats (mzML, mzXML, or mzData) using third party tools. One commonly used is ProteoWizard.
3. One LC-MS datafile can be uploaded at a time; a datafile is limited to 100M in size. An example is found here: .
4. CropRefMetaBlast usually runs from minutes to hours for each LC-MS datafile. A web link to a result page will be returned once analysis is completed.
5. Your data are kept confidential with all uploaded data and results being automatically deleted within 72 hours.
6. If you are interested to collaborate with us on expanding CropMetabolome data and covering other crops. Please use the "Submit" tool .
