Metabolomics Integrator (Mint)
Project description
MINT (Metabolomics Integrator)
The Metabolomics Integrator (MINT)) is a post-processing tool for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) based metabolomics. Metabolomics is the study of all metabolites (small chemical compounds) in a biological sample e.g. from bacteria or a human blood sample. The metabolites can be used to define biomarkers used in medicine to find treatments for diseases or for the development of diagnostic tests or for the identification of pathogens such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). More information on how to install and run the program can be found in the Documentation.
Metabolomics with Python
from ms_mint.notebook import Mint
mint.ms_files = glob('/path/to/files/*mzML')
mint.peaklist_files = '/path/to/peaklist/file/peaklist.csv'
mint.run()
mint.results
More information in the documentation.
Contributions are welcome
MINT integrates open-source software and packages into a Python library for metabolomics with a browser based GUI. It is programmed by scientists for scientists to contribute to better and faster science integrating best practices of data management and computer science. Contributions are welcome that improve the efficiency of the code, bug fixes, feature implementations, security enhancements among others. If you want to contribute to MINT please send me a notification.

Acknowledgements
This project would not be possible without the help of the open-source community. The tools and resources provided by GitHub, Docker-Hub, the Python Package Index, as well the answers from dedicated users on Stackoverflow and the Plotly community, as well as the free open-source packages used are the foundation of this project. Several people have made direct contributions to the codebase and we are extremely grateful for that.
- @rokm refactored the specfile for
Pyinstaller
to create a windows package. - @bucknerns helped with the configuration of the
versioneer
file.
Last but not least, we want to thank all the users and early adopters that drive the development with feature requests and bug reports.
