Stable isotope directed metabolomics is increasingly being used to measure metabolic fluxes in microbial, plant and animal cells. Incorporation of 13C/15N isotopes into a wide range of metabolites is typically determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or other hyphenated mass spectrometry approaches. The DExSI (Data Extraction for Stable Isotope-labelled metabolites) pipeline is an interactive graphical software package which can be used to rapidly quantitate isotopologues for a wide variety of metabolites detected by GC/MS. DExSI performs automated metabolite annotation, mass and positional isotopomer abundance determination and natural isotope abundance correction. It provides a range of output options and is suitable for high throughput analyses.
DExSI is available for non-commercial use from: https://github.com/DExSI/DExSI/. For Microsoft Windows 7 or higher (64-bit).

稳定同位素示踪代谢组学正越来越多地被用于测量微生物、植物和动物细胞中的代谢通量。通过气相色谱-质谱联用仪 (GC/MS) 或其他联用质谱方法,通常可以确定各种代谢物中 13C/15N 同位素的掺入情况。DExSI(稳定同位素标记代谢物的数据提取)是一个交互式图形软件包,可用于快速定量 GC/MS 检测到的多种代谢物的同位素标记物。DExSI 可实现代谢物自动注释、质量和位置同位素丰度的测定以及自然同位素丰度的校正。它提供了多种输出选项,适用于高通量分析。
