Overview
LipidSpace compares lipidomes using graph-based distances between lipid structures and quantitative information. Its desktop interface supports experiment comparison, study-variable exploration, feature selection and quality-control views.

Scope and considerations
Designed for
- LipidSpace compares lipidomes using graph-based distances between lipid structures and quantitative information.
Not designed for
- Raw spectral lipid identification or proof of biological similarity independent of annotation quality and structural resolution.
Important requirements
- A supported desktop release and identified lipid abundance tables with compatible lipid nomenclature and sample/study-variable annotations.
Considerations
- Lipid naming, structural detail, sn-position assumptions and distance/clustering settings influence comparisons. This resource is distinct from the LORA paper incorrectly associated with its repository in the intake.
