摘要

Spatial metabolomics has emerged as a powerful approach to understanding tissue-specific metabolic alterations in multiple diseases, yet accessible analytical tools remain limited. To address this, we developed MetaboCypher, a userfriendly software solution built using Python 3.12.9 and key packages including PySide6 for the intuitive graphical interface, NumPy and Pandas for data handling, SciPy for scientific computing, and others for specialized tasks. MetaboCypher features a modular architecture designed to streamline spatial metabolomic data analysis. The Preprocessing module ensures data quality through tasks like file unification, noise filtering, and normalization, with visual feedback. The Visualization module allows for interactive metabolite expression exploration, including heatmap generation and ROI selection. The crucial Alignment module integrates spatial metabolomics with histological images. A comprehensive Analysis module offers a diverse suite of spatial analysis techniques, and MetaboPedia provides an integrated metabolite knowledgebase for structural and pathway exploration. By offering an intuitive platform, MetaboCypher aims to empower a broader range of researchers to leverage spatial metabolomics for uncovering disease mechanisms and identifying potential biomarkers, ultimately advancing our understanding of complex biological systems.
