IMetaLab 1.0: A web platform for metaproteomics data analysis

Abstract

Summary The human gut microbiota, a complex, dynamic and biodiverse community, has been increasingly shown to influence many aspects of health and disease. Metaproteomic analysis has proven to be a powerful approach to study the functionality of the microbiota. However, the processing and analyses of metaproteomic mass spectrometry data remains a daunting task in metaproteomics data analysis. We developed iMetaLab, a web based platform to provide a user-friendly and comprehensive data analysis pipeline with a focus on lowering the technical barrier for metaproteomics data analysis. Availability and implementation iMetaLab is freely available through at http://imetalab.ca. Supplementary informationSupplementary dataare available at Bioinformatics online.
