map_lipid_names {lipidomeR}

Enumerate lipid names into values about lipid class, size and saturation

Description

Use this function to create a mapping of the lipids to values, which can be used to creating 'lipidomeR' heatmaps.

Usage

map_lipid_names(x)

Arguments

x

(Required) character vector of lipid names. The names are expected in the format 'XY(C:D)', where 'XY' is the abbreviation of the lipid class, 'C' is the total number of carbon atoms in the fatty-acid chains, and 'D' is the total number of double-bonds in the fatty acid chains.

Value

Data frame with lipid names in various formats for R and the enumerated values of lipid class (Class), lipid size (N.carbons) and lipid unsaturation (N.double.bonds).
