When I try to upload a reference metabolome for the enrichment analysis (see steps below), none of the metabolites that contain a comma in the name match to HMDB names (although those are the exact names I obtained through the conversion tool).
(side note - if there was option to upload HMDB IDs instead of names, could avoid this issue)
Steps:
Enrichment Analysis
OverRepresentation Analysis
(https://www.metaboanalyst.ca/MetaboAnalyst/upload/EnrichUploadView.xhtml)
enriched compounds: L-arginine, 5-HETE, 12-HETE
feature type: compound names
feature type: metabolites
Submit
Proceed
Upload a reference metabolome based on your analytical platform(MetaboAnalyst)
choose - “compound names.csv”
Error - “a total of 11 compounds were not matched to HMDB compound names”
***** they happen to be all of the compounds that contain a comma in the compound name********

*** csv file seems to be structured correctly - error message shows that commas in names are not causing a break in the names when uploading- reference metabolome list attachment
