The present invention generates a visual display of metabolomic data
compiled by a database and associated processor. More particularly, the
present invention provides a database for automatically receiving a
three-dimensional spectrometry data set for a group of samples. The
present invention also provides a processor device for manipulating the
data sets to produce plots that are directly comparable to a plurality of
characteristic plots corresponding to a plurality of selected
metabolites. Furthermore, the processor device may generate a visual
display indicating the presence of the selected metabolites across the
group of samples. Thus, the present invention enables a user to analyze a
series of complex data sets in a visual display that may indicate the
presence of the selected metabolites across the group of samples.
Furthermore, the visual display generated by embodiments of the present
invention also expedites the subjective analysis of the spectrometry data
sets.
