Provides

This program does not seem to provide any artifacts. Such programs usually print out some information for you to see or alter some anvi’o artifacts without producing any immediate outputs.

Usage

This program imports a metabolite abundance profile, such as from metabolomic experiments, into a profile-db.

This program takes as input a tab-delimited file of metabolite abundance data and a profile-db. The tabular file must have three columns with the following names: “accession”, “sample”, and “abundance”. Each row of the table corresponds to a distinct metabolite abundance measurement.

  • “accession” is the ModelSEED Compound ID, e.g., “cpd00027” for D-glucose.
  • “sample” is the name of the sample in which the measurement was made. It need not be the same as any nucleotide sequence samples stored in the profile database.
  • “abundance” is the metabolite abundance value, however defined.

Once metabolite abundances are stored in a profile database, they can be loaded into a metabolic reaction-network for analysis in the context of biochemical pathways. Metabolites in the network are defined in terms of ModelSEED Compounds.

Command line interface

The following is the list of parameters and their descriptions in the latest version of anvi-import-metabolite-profile.

The code that generates this web page ensures that this information is the latest available in 9-dev (eunice). Which means, in some cases the information in this section (generated automatically) might be more comprehensive or up-to-date compared to the descriptions above (written by humans).

Command line usage

anvi-import-metabolite-profile [-h] --metabolite-profile-table METABOLITE_PROFILE_TABLE -p PROFILE_DB

Parameters and their descriptions

options
--metabolite-profile-table METABOLITE_PROFILE_TABLE required
This tab-delimited table contains metabolite abundance data from different samples. It should have the following named columns: 'source', 'accession', 'sample', and 'abundance'. Each row corresponds to a distinct metabolite abundance measurement. 'source' is the source of the identifying accessions. Currently, the only permitted source is 'ModelSEED'. 'accession' is the ModelSEED Compound ID, e.g., 'cpd00001', providing a unique identifier that facilitates integration into anvi'o metabolic network data. 'sample' is the name of the sample in which the measurement was made. It need not be the same as any nucleotide sequence samples stored in the profile database. 'abundance' is the metabolite abundance value itself.
