Graph
LipidOne performs various univariate analyses and generates multiple visualizations, including grouped and stacked bar charts, pie charts, and heatmaps, based on lipid characteristics and user-selected experimental groups.
Graph
LipidOne performs comprehensive univariate analyses, including volcano plots, lipid class summaries, boxplots, sequence analysis, and t-test/ANOVA, providing statistical insights into lipidomic variations across experimental groups.
Graph
LipidOne includes clustering analysis functions such as k-means clustering, hierarchical clustering (dendrogram), and heatmaps, allowing for the identification of lipidomic patterns and similarities among experimental groups.
Graph
LipidOne provides comprehensive PCA analysis, generating score plots, loading plots, scree plots, outlier detection plots, and top-loading bar charts, enabling users to explore variance, sample distribution, and key contributing lipid species across principal components.
Graph
LipidOne enables pathway analysis at three levels: lipid classes, molecular species, and lipid building blocks (Acyl, Alkyl, and Alkenyl chains). It identifies metabolic transformations, interactions, and activation states, while also listing the enzymes involved in each pathway. This analysis is available for eight user-selectable model organisms, providing a comprehensive view of lipid metabolism across different biological systems.
Graph
LipidOne projects the proteins predicted by pathway analysis onto the STRING database to identify neighboring proteins and construct interaction networks. These networks are then used to perform enrichment analyses, providing functional insights into lipid-related biological processes.
Graph
LipidOne performs PLS-DA analysis, generating multiple visualizations for model interpretation:
  • Score Plot: Displays sample separation across components, highlighting group clustering and variance.
  • Loading Plot: Identifies key lipid variables contributing to group differentiation.
  • VIP Score Plot with Heatmap: Ranks the top 20 most influential lipid species (VIPs) and visualizes their expression patterns.
  • R2Y, Q2Y, and Accuracy Plot: Evaluates model performance and predictive ability across components.
  • Confusion Matrix: Assesses classification accuracy by comparing predicted vs. actual sample groups.
Graph
LipidOne performs sPLS-DA analysis, generating multiple visualizations to enhance model interpretation and feature selection:
  • Score Plot: Shows the separation of groups based on sparse latent components.
  • VIP Score Plot with Heatmap: Highlights the top 15 most discriminant lipid species and their expression patterns.
  • Performance Evaluation Plot: Assesses classification performance based on the number of selected variables using different distance metrics.
  • Error Rate Plot: Displays classification error rates across components and distance metrics.
  • Confusion Matrix: Evaluates classification accuracy by comparing predicted vs. actual groups.
Graph
LipidOne performs OPLS-DA analysis, generating multiple visualizations for model interpretation and validation:
  • Score Plot: Displays group separation by removing orthogonal variation, enhancing discrimination.
  • VIP Score Plot with Heatmap: Identifies the top 20 most discriminant lipid species and their expression trends.
  • Observation Diagnostics Plot: Detects potential outliers based on orthogonal and score distances.
  • S-Plot: Highlights key lipid features contributing to group differentiation.
  • Permutation Tests (R2Y and Q2Y): Validates model robustness by comparing actual vs. permuted data.
  • Model Performance Plot: Summarizes predictive ability using R2X, R2Y, and Q2 values.
Graph
LipidOne enables biomarker discovery through multiple statistical approaches:
  • Monovariate ROC Analysis: Evaluates the diagnostic performance of individual lipid species using AUC.
  • Multivariate ROC Analysis (Random Forest Model): Assesses the combined predictive power of multiple lipid species.
  • Candidate Biomarker Table: Lists the top 20 lipid biomarkers ranked by p-value, AUC, Cohen's d effect size, and statistical power, helping prioritize robust and clinically relevant candidates.
Graph
LipidOne features a user-friendly interface that allows for flexible lipidomic data analysis:
  1. Three Levels of Analysis: Users can explore lipid classes, molecular species, and lipid building blocks.
  2. Experimental Group and Lipid Class Selection
  3. Comprehensive Analytical Functions Organized into four categories
  4. Customizable Parameters
  5. Multiple Graphical Outputs
Graph
Each analysis result in LipidOne is accompanied by two key features:
  • INFO Button: Provides a detailed explanation of the selected function, including its methodology and guidelines for interpreting the results.
  • DOWNLOAD Button: Allows users to export high-resolution graphics and CSV tables, ensuring easy integration of results into reports and publications.
