Metabolite clustering

To cluster metabolites:


  • for each metabolite
  • compute number of similar metabolites
  • rank from most to fewest neighbors
  • for each ranked metabolite, take all its relatives out of the list
  • continue until there are no metabolites left.
  • you now have core metabolites representing architypes, together with their neighbors
  • variant: modify the similiarity metric (default 0.5 dice)
