# LC-MS Metabolomics

C-CoMP will use the EMBL-EBI [MetaboLights](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/) repository to host raw and derived targeted and untargeted LC-MS Metabolomics data generated by C-CoMP.

General directions

1. Create a MetaboLights account (if you do not already have one) and log in.
2. Click on the ‘Submit Study’ button to begin the submission process.
   * You can use this button to submit a new study or update an existing study.
3. If you create a new study, you will need to complete the following tasks:
   1. Upload raw and derived files.
      * You will need to use FTP or Aspera to upload your raw and derived files. 
   2. Complete the study description.
   3. Complete the sample and assay information description.

After submission, the MetaboLights team will curate your study and ask for additional information. MetaboLights can generate ‘reviewer links’ for studies that are not public.
