Content & Workshop goals:
MetaboLights is the most important open-access repository for metabolomics data; hosted by EMBL-EBI. It hosts high-quality metabolomics studies across species and techniques; enabling:

• Curation and quality control of submitted data
• Rich; standardized metadata that supports reproducibility
• Easy metadata exploration and analysis for downstream research
• Because of its curated content and powerful metadata structure; MetaboLights is the go-to platform for both data submission and data re-use in metabolomics.

We will guide you through the key features and practical use of MetaboLights in three 40-minute blocks:

• Introduction & Submission: Overview of MetaboLights; How to prepare and submit your own data
• Data Re-Use from MetaboLights: Retrieving and exploring datasets; Using Galaxy and MetaboAnalyst for downstream analysis
• Bring Your Own Data: Hands-on session to apply what you’ve learned to your own datasets
