FAQ
How to go further concerning W4M resources ?
To go further, you can participate to the yearly Workflow4Experimenters international course. You can also reach slides of the previous session following this link https://workflow4metabolomics.org/howto
Are there any face-to-face training sessions for W4M resources ?
Workflow4Experimenters international course takes place every yeay. During this one-week course (entirely in english), you will learn how to use the W4M infrastructure and analyze your own LC-MS, GC-MS, or NMR data. Morning sessions will be dedicated to methodology and tools. Afternoon sessions will be devoted to tutoring.
How to get access to W4M tools ? (How to request an account ?)
To get access to the W4M tools, you need to create a W4M Galaxy account using the dedicated registering page: https://workflow4metabolomics.org/account
The registration is free. Once your account created, you will have your own personnal login and password to access the W4M Galaxy instance at the following link: https://galaxy.workflow4metabolomics.org
This Galaxy instance gathers all the W4M tools presented in this opencourse, and even more! There is no need to download any software, you can process your data using directly the web interface once logged-in. Enjoy!
What are the prerequisites to follow the W4M part of this open-course ?
- Skills in NMR spectroscopy or Mass
- Spectrometry are needed to understand preprocessing and annotation steps.
- Basic statistical analysis knowledge can be useful although not mandatory
