PMart is a web-based tool for reproducible quality control, exploratory data analysis, statistical analysis, and interactive visualization of ‘omics data, based on the functionality of the pmartR R package. The newly improved user interface supports more ‘omics data types, additional statistical capabilities, and enhanced options for creating downloadable graphics. PMart supports the analysis of label-free and isobaric-labeled (e.g., TMT, iTRAQ) proteomics, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass-spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics, MS-based lipidomics, and ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) transcriptomics data. At the end of a PMart session, a report is available that summarizes the processing steps performed and includes the pmartR R package functions used to execute the data processing. In addition, built-in safeguards in the backend code prevent users from utilizing methods that are inappropriate based on omics data type. PMart is a user-friendly interface for conducting exploratory data analysis and statistical comparisons of omics data without programming.
