IonFlow: a galaxy tool for the analysis of ionomics data sets.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) experiments generate complex multi-dimensional data sets that require specialist data analysis tools.

Objective

Here we describe tools to facilitate analysis of the ionome composed of high-throughput elemental profiling data.

Methods

IonFlow is a Galaxy tool written in R for ionomics data analysis and is freely accessible at https://github.com/wanchanglin/ionflow . It is designed as a pipeline that can process raw data to enable exploration and interpretation using multivariate statistical techniques and network-based algorithms, including principal components analysis, hierarchical clustering, relevance network extraction and analysis, and gene set enrichment analysis.
