Molecular characterization of colorectal cancer liver metastases with pure desmoplastic versus non-pure desmoplastic histopathological growth patterns using a targeted gene expression panel

The histological growth pattern (HGP) at the interface of colorectal adenocarcinoma liver metastases (CRCLM) and liver parenchyma provides important prognostic information. This study aimed to identify transcriptomic signatures underlying the predominant HGPs in CRCLM. We retrosp...

Metabodeconplus—An R Package for Automated Deconvolution and Alignment of 1D NMR Metabolomics Data

Background: In one-dimensional NMR spectra of complex biofluids such as urine and plasma, extensive signal overlap obscures individual metabolite signals. Resolving this overlap by deconvolution is only the first step: turning a set of spectra into a table for subsequent statisti...

FastRet: Fast andSimple Retention Time Predictionin Liquid Chromatography

Abstract Feature annotation in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)-based untargeted metabolomics remains challenging. Retention time (RT) prediction can support candidate prioritization and improve annotation confidence. Here, we present FastRet, an R package predicti...
