A 9.8 KB dataset listing metabolites with statistically significant differences between winter and spring seasons in the MEA group of horses. The data was authored by Julia Drespling and last updated on figshare in April 2026. It is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 and is available in XLSX format.
Use Cases
- Identify seasonal biomarkers in horse airway metabolomes based on the statistical comparison mentioned.
- Investigate the mTOR signaling pathway's seasonal activity based on the platform tags.
- Analyze changes in cholesterol metabolism across seasons as indicated by the platform tags.
- Validate statistical methods for metabolite concentration comparisons in longitudinal studies.
Strengths
- Dataset is small (9.8 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
- Clear license (CC-BY-4.0) permitting reuse with attribution.
- Specific focus on statistically significant metabolites provides a curated starting point for analysis.
Limitations
- Row count and column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- The dataset's small size suggests a limited scope, potentially covering only a subset of metabolites.
