The online format will also be recorded for the participants to view at a later time. All software training has transitioned to a virtual machine environment so training can be done from any location. Virtual machines are hosted by Amazon Web Services and can be accessed using either a PC or a Mac computer. Every unit is taught using interactive tools such as polling, using annotation tools, utilizing non-verbal feedback, live questions, and group work.
The course will include:
- study design, including pitfall analysis and hidden biases in studies from microbial, plant, mouse, and human cohort research
- sample preparation and quality control
- in-laboratory detailed discussions of standard operating procedures for GC-MS and LC-MS data acquisitions
- targeted metabolomics, including monitoring charts and the use of isotope-labeled internal standards
- untargeted data processing and exercises on MS-DIAL software
- exercises on the identification of unknowns by cheminformatics software workflows (incl MS-FINDER, CFM-ID, and various databases and small software routines)
- data normalization and transformation with and without internal standards and quality controls
- multivariate and univariate statistics
- pathway mapping
