Step: Quantify Branch Motifs

step_quantify_branch_motifs.Rd

Quantify N-glycan branch motifs using glydet::quantify_motifs() with glymotif::branch_motifs(). This extracts specific N-glycan branching patterns (bi-antennary, tri-antennary, etc.). Only works with N-glycans.

This step requires exp (experiment data).

Usage

step_quantify_branch_motifs(method = "relative")

Arguments

method

Method for motif quantification ("relative" or "absolute"). Default is "relative".

Value

A glysmith_step object.

Details

Data required:

  • exp: The experiment to quantify motifs for (must be N-glycans)

Data generated:

  • branch_motif_exp: The experiment with quantified branch motifs

Tables generated:

  • branch_motifs: A table containing the quantified branch motifs.

AI Prompt

This section is for AI in inquire_blueprint() only.

  • Include this step if motif analysis is needed specifically for N-glycans.

  • This step should be followed by DEA and visualization steps.
