Keeping your data secure is our top priority. BioRankings uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to access your data in a protected, efficient environment.

We require .cdf, .mzxml, .mzml, and .mzdata.xml data files and .csv for metadata files.
More information about the metadata file can be found in our Metadata File Guide

If you do not have your own data or wish to use a sample dataset:
 Sample Metabolomics Dataset (zipped)
 Sample Metadata File
 Sample Metadata File With Batch Effects
 Sample Metadata File With Repeated Measures

Steps to Upload Data:

1. In the navigation bar under Metabolomics click on the ‘Upload Data’ button to go to the upload page
   
   
2. The first step on the page is to enter a name for your Metadata file and upload it by using the 'Browse' button.
   In the screen shot below, we have uploaded the metadata file in the sample dataset at the top of this page and entered the name ‘covars’.
   
   Note: Multiple metadata files can be uploaded if you want to run different analyses on subsets of the same data.
   
   
3. The second step is to upload your untargeted metabolomic files. Click the ‘Browse’ button to select which files to upload. The files will be display in the white box below. Then click the ‘Upload files’ button to begin the upload. Once the upload is complete you will get a prompt indicating success.
   In the 1st screenshot below we have uploaded the 16 sample .mzml files linked at the top of this page.
   
   
   The 2nd screenshot shows the prompt after a successful upload.
   
   
   
4. The final step of naming your dataset is optional but is recommended if you plan to run multiple analyses. We have named ours ‘Demo_Dataset’ in the 1st screenshot. Lastly, click on the ‘Submit Data Upload’ button. This will take you to our ‘Start Your Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis’ page.
