Metabomatching
Metabomatching is a procedure to identify compounds from spectral features that jointly associate with genotypes.
Software
The simplest method to run metabomatching is to use the metabomatching docker image. With a working docker installation (get docker), run
docker pull metabomatching/metabomatching-pre
to download the metabomatching container. The download may take some time, as the container includes a full Linux OS, octave to run metabomatching, and inkscape to convert metabomatching figures from SVG to PDF. To run metabomatching on the included sample pseudospectrum, run
docker run -i -v <absolute/path/to/my/directory>:/mm-ps metabomatching/metabomatching-pre
which will run metabomatching, and write results to <absolute/path/to/my/directory>
. To run metabomatching on your own pseudospectra, please refer to the documentation. For a system running either Matlab or octave, metabomatching can also be obtained from GitHub
