Sumario:Metabolomics, which is defined as the comprehensive analysis of metabolites in a biological system, has lots of applications that are leading to an important step forward in medicine. Since it is still an emerging field, researchers are trying to create computational tools that improve the processing, analysis and interpretation of metabolomics data. In this project, we have developed a new library in R based on MAIT (Metabolite Automatic Identification Toolkit) R package. Our algorithm provides a set of state-of-the-art tools to perform the whole metabolomics workflow, from raw liquid-chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data to the biological interpretation.
