Novel techniques for high-throughput steady-state metabolomic profiling yield information about changes of nearly thousands of metabolites. Such metabolomic profiles, when analyzed together with transcriptional profiles, can reveal novel insights about underlying biological processes. While a number of conceptual approaches have been developed for data integration, easily accessible tools for integrated analysis of mammalian steady-state metabolomic and transcriptional data are lacking. Here we present GAM ('genes and metabolites'): a web-service for integrated network analysis of transcriptional and steady-state metabolomic data focused on identification of the most changing metabolic subnetworks between two conditions of interest. In the web-service, we have pre-assembled metabolic networks for humans, mice, Arabidopsis and yeast and adapted exact solvers for an optimal subgraph search to work in the context of these metabolic networks. The output is the most regulated metabolic subnetwork of size controlled by false discovery rate parameters. The subnetworks are then visualized online and also can be downloaded in Cytoscape format for subsequent processing. The web-service is available at: https://artyomovlab.wustl.edu/shiny/gam/.
用于高通量稳态代谢组学分析的新技术能够生成近数千种代谢物变化的信息。当这些代谢组学图谱与转录图谱一起分析时,可以揭示有关潜在生物学过程的新见解。虽然已经开发了许多概念性方法用于数据整合,但缺乏便于使用的工具来对哺乳动物稳态代谢组学和转录数据进行综合分析。在此,我们展示了GAM(“基因与代谢物”):一个用于转录和稳态代谢组学数据综合网络分析的网络服务,专注于识别两个感兴趣条件之间变化最大的代谢子网络。在该网络服务中,我们预先组装了人类、小鼠、拟南芥和酵母的代谢网络,并采用精确求解器进行最优子图搜索,以便在这些代谢网络的背景下工作。输出结果是由错误发现率参数控制大小的调控最为显著的代谢子网络。这些子网络随后会在线可视化,也可以以Cytoscape格式下载以便后续处理。该网络服务可通过以下网址获取:https://artyomovlab.wustl.edu/shiny/gam/ 。
