Features
Sample ID Mapping
- Exact match between matrix and metadata identifiers
- Fuzzy matching with configurable similarity thresholds
- Pattern-based matching using regular expressions
- Metadata-based correlation for complex mapping scenarios
Metadata Standardization
- Transcriptomics schema (cell type, tissue, organism, disease)
- Proteomics schema (platform, quantification method, normalization)
- Microbiome schema (16S vs shotgun, taxonomic level, diversity)
Dataset Validation
- Sample count consistency between matrix and metadata
- Condition coverage verification for experimental design
- Control sample identification and validation
- Biological and technical replicate detection
- Platform consistency checks across samples
Disease Enrichment
Four-phase hierarchy for missing disease annotations:
- Column re-scan for disease-related field names
- LLM-based abstract extraction from publication context
- LLM-based methods section parsing
- Manual mapping fallback for known datasets
Multi-Omics Integration
- Cross-modality sample alignment
- Shared sample identification across data types
- Metadata merging with conflict resolution
Requirements
- Python 3.12+
- lobster-ai >= 1.0.0
