The nPYc-Toolbox, a Python module for the pre-processing, quality-control and analysis of metabolic profiling datasets.

Summary: As large-scale metabolic phenotyping studies become increasingly common, the need for systemic methods for pre-processing and quality control (QC) of analytical data prior to statistical analysis has become increasingly important, both within a study, and to allow meaningful inter-study comparisons. The nPYc-Toolbox provides software for the import, pre-processing, QC and visualization of metabolic phenotyping datasets, either interactively, or in automated pipelines.
Availability and Implementation: The nPYc-Toolbox is implemented in Python, and is freely available from the Python package index https://pypi.org/project/nPYc/, source is available at https://github.com/phenomecentre/nPYc-Toolbox. Full documentation can be found at http://npyc-toolbox.readthedocs.io/ and exemplar datasets and tutorials at https://github.com/phenomecentre/nPYc-toolbox-tutorials.
