MetaboDiff: an R package for differential metabolomic analysis.

Summary: Comparative metabolomics comes of age through commercial vendors offering metabolomics for translational researchers outside the mass spectrometry field. The MetaboDiff packages aims to provide a low-level entry to differential metabolomic analysis with R by starting off with the table of metabolite measurements. As a key functionality, MetaboDiffs offers the exploration of sample traits in a data-derived metabolic correlation network.

Availability and implementation: The MetaboDiff R package is platform-independent, available at https://github.com/andreasmock/MetaboDiff/ and released under the MIT licence. The package documentation comprises a step-by-step markdown tutorial.

Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
