An R package for the MoTrPAC community


Overview

The Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) is a national research consortium designed to discover and perform the characterization of the “molecular map” that underlies the effects of physical activity in humans.

MotrpacBicQC provides a set of functions for Primary and Secondary QC/QA analysis of datasets generated by the Metabolomics, Targeted, and Untargeted Proteomics MoTrPAC Chemical Analysis Sites (CAS). It also provides additional functions and data objects for analysis.

Key Features

  • Metabolomics QC — Validate metadata, results, and sample files for named/unnamed metabolomics batches. Includes RefMet name validation via the Metabolomics Workbench API.
  • Proteomics QC — Check untargeted proteomics submissions including ratio files, RII, and vial metadata.
  • Olink QC — Validate Olink proteomics metadata and sample files.
  • Clinical Chemistry QC — Quality checks for lab-based clinical chemistry datasets.
  • Data Visualization — Generate QC plots for metabolomics, proteomics, olink, and lab data.
  • Cross-file Validation — Verify consistency across related files within a submission.
