Table 2. Description of getIsoLabelReport() Output Table.

column heading explanation
compound m/z of the base (unlabeled) isotopologue; value to be used for searching metabolite databases for putative identities of the group
isotopologues list of m/z of all isotopologues in the group, including base
groupIDs ID number of isotopologues in the xcmsSet object’s “groups” slot; used for plotting EICs of individual isotopologues
RTs retention time of each isotopologue
meanAbsIntU mean absolute intensity of each isotopologue in the samples treated with unlabeled precursor
meanAbsIntL mean absolute intensity of each isotopologue in the samples treated with labeled precursor
meanRelIntU mean relative intensity (fraction of total absolute intensity of entire isotopologue group) of each isotopologue in the samples treated with unlabeled precursor
meanRelIntL mean relative intensity of each isotopologue in the samples treated with labeled precursor
enrichmentLvsU ratio meanRelIntL:meanRelIntU for each isotopologue
p_value p-values from Welch’s t-tests comparing relative intensities of each isotopologue in unlabeled versus labeled samples
sampleData absolute intensities of each isotopologue in every sample
