MetEx, a Metabolomics Explorer Application for Natural Product Discovery.

ABSTRACT: Advances in next-generation DNA sequencing technologies, bioinformatics, and mass spectrometry-based metabolite detection have ushered in a new era of natural product discovery. Microbial secondary metabolomes are complex, especially when otherwise silent biosynthetic genes are activated, and there is therefore a need for data analysis software to explore and map the resulting multidimensional datasets. To that end, we herein report the Metabolomics Explorer (MetEx), a publicly available web application for the analysis of parallel liquid chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomics data. MetEx is a highly interactive application that facilitates visualization and analysis of complex metabolomics datasets, consisting of retention time, m/z, and MS intensity fe
