metabolomicsWorkbenchR

metabolomicsWorkbenchR provides functions for interfacing with the Metabolomics Workbench RESTful API to search study, compound, protein and gene information and to obtain study data in common Bioconductor formats.

Key Features:

• RESTful API Interface: Enables programmatic access to the Metabolomics Workbench database.
• Multi-Entity Search: Supports searching for study, compound, protein and gene information.
• Bioconductor Format Conversion: Methods obtain study data as SummarizedExperiment and MultiAssayExperiment objects.

Scientific Applications:

• Metabolomics Data Retrieval: Facilitates access to metabolomics study data from the Metabolomics Workbench repository.
• Multi-Omics Integration: Supports integration workflows through MultiAssayExperiment containers that can hold compound, protein and gene data.

Methodology:

The package interfaces with the Metabolomics Workbench RESTful API and converts retrieved data into Bioconductor data structures.
