This is a novel system that enables interactive comparative visualization and analysis of metabolomics data obtained by two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCxGC-MS). This system allows the user to produce, and interactively explore, visualizations of multiple GCxGC-MS data sets, thereby allowing a user to discover differences and features in real time. This system provides statistical support in the form of mean and standard deviation calculations to aid users in identifying meaningful differences between sample groups. We combine these with multiform, linked visualizations in order to provide researchers with a powerful new tool for GCxGC-MS exploration and bio-marker discovery.
