Importance of Metabolomics Analysis in Microbiome Research
Cmbio has offered both targeted and untargeted metabolomics lab services for a number of years given its importance in understanding mechanism of action in microbiome studies. Microbial communities produce, modify, and degrade a vast array of metabolites, many of which are absorbed and circulate throughout the host, influencing health and disease.
As such, we’re excited to be launching an interactive software option for biologists embarking on metabolomics studies as part of their microbiome research journey.
Microbe-Host Metabolic Interactions
Metabolomics enables the identification of metabolites that are uniquely produced or transformed by the microbiome, such as short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, and neurotransmitter precursors.

Cosmos-Hub Statistics Toolbox for Metabolomics
The Cosmos-Hub platform already enables a very user-friendly statistics toolbox that enables users to conduct customizable univariate and multivariate comparative analyses to reveal interactive charts, visualizations and accompanying statistics. Users have the flexibility to switch between different outputs, and export them in different formats. Some of these include but are not limited to:
Heatmaps
Abundance Distribution Analysis
PCA
To learn more about the current suite of tools, please visit our Statistics Toolbox page.
As part of the new metabolomics module, we’re launching a number of new statistical analysis methods and visualizations commonly used in the metabolomics field:
- Upgraded PCA - Bi-plots & Loadings Plots
- PLS-DA
- Multivariate Statistics
- Additional Univariate Statistics
- Machine Learning Frameworks
Advanced Principle Component Analysis (PCA)
Unlock deeper insights from your complex metabolomics datasets with our intuitive Principal Component Analysis (PCA) module, seamlessly integrated into the Cosmos-Hub Statistics Toolbox.

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a powerful unsupervised statistical technique that transforms high-dimensional metabolomics data into a simpler, lower-dimensional representation. By identifying the principal components – the directions of greatest variance in your dataset – PCA helps you:
-
Visualize Complex Data
Condense intricate datasets into 2D or 3D plots, making it easier to discern patterns, clusters, and outliers. -
Reduce Dimensionality
Simplify your data by focusing on the most significant sources of variation, effectively reducing noise and highlighting key metabolic signatures. -
Identify Key Trends
Uncover underlying relationships between samples and metabolites without prior knowledge of sample groups.
-
Quality Control
Quickly assess data quality and identify potential batch effects or anomalous samples.

Uncover Discriminatory Patterns with PLS-DA
Elevate your metabolomics research with our advanced Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) module, a powerful supervised learning tool integrated into the Cosmos-Hub Statistics Toolbox. Designed to identify the metabolic signatures that best distinguish between your predefined sample groups, our PLS-DA module helps you move from complex data to actionable biological insights with greater clarity and confidence.

Distinguish Between Groups with PLS-DA
Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) is a sophisticated statistical method tailored for classification and biomarker discovery in high-dimensional metabolomics datasets. Unlike unsupervised methods like PCA, PLS-DA leverages prior knowledge of sample classes (e.g., control vs. treatment, healthy vs. disease) to maximize the separation between these groups, making it exceptionally effective for:
-
Identifying Class-Defining Metabolites
Pinpoint the specific metabolites that are most influential in differentiating your experimental groups. -
Building Predictive Models
Develop classification models to predict the class membership of new samples based on their metabolic profiles. -
Visualizing Group Separation
Clearly visualize how distinct sample groups separate based on their metabolomic data.
-
Validating Potential Biomarkers
Assess the discriminatory power of candidate biomarkers.

Multi-variate Mixed effects modeling: Unlocking Robust Biomarker Discovery from Your Metabolomics Data

The inherent complexity and high dimensionality of metabolomics data, coupled with influences from various covariates (like age, diet, or environment), demand sophisticated analytical approaches for novel biomarker discovery. Multivariate mixed effects modeling rises to this challenge, providing a robust framework for your biomarker discovery pipeline.
Statistical frameworks for multivariate analysis allow users to:
-
Perform multivariable association testing
Evaluate the link between each metabolite and a condition of interest (e.g., disease status, treatment response). -
Control for covariates
Simultaneously adjust for multiple potential confounding variables, ensuring more accurate and specific associations. -
Support complex study designs
Effectively analyze data from cross-sectional, longitudinal, and repeated-measures studies.
-
Handle diverse data characteristics
Offers flexibility with various data distributions and types encountered in metabolomics.
