Bits & Bites 2023: Short Course Series (Online):

Bits & Bites # 07: Introduction to Metaboanalyst

November 2, 2023 @ 9 am - 5 pm PT

Instructor:  Dr. Jeff Xia, McGill University


In this short course, we will cover how to use MetaboAnalyst 5.0, a comprehensive platform dedicated to metabolomics data analysis. There will be a brief overview of data input, processing, and general workflow to perform PCA/PLS-DA/OPLS-DA analysis in MetaboAnalyst. More importantly, this course will cover how to use different functional analysis methods such as Enrichment Analysis, Pathway Analysis, Joint Pathway Analysis, and Network Analysis. Lastly, participants will also learn how to perform biomarker analysis and statistical analysis with complex metadata.

Bits & Bites #08:

Tips & Tricks of GC-MS in Metabolomics



November 16, 2023

@ 9 am - 5 pm PT

Instructor: Dr. Oliver Fiehn, UC Davis


In this short course, we discuss the fundamentals of GC-MS, tips for best practices, and aspects of instrumentation, and demonstrate data processing and use of databases. Participants will also learn the current challenges, trends, and developments of GC-MS-based metabolomics.

Bits & Bites #09:

Metabolomics for Epidemiologists


December 7, 2023

@ 9 am - 5 pm PT

Instructor: Dr. Oliver Fiehn, UC Davis


In this short course, we discuss an overview of metabolomics including realistic goals and considerations for study designs, and metabolite coverage from commercial providers versus core facilities. How robust are metabolite data? What are the best normalization strategies? How should we deal with missing data, QC pools, and blanks? How can different studies be combined to increase power? Which identifiers could be used, and what is good coverage for metabolomic studies?
