PlantFA DatabaseLIPID MAPS has recently incorporated several hundred plant fatty acid structures, including common names and other annotations from the PlantFA Database (https://plantfadb.org/) at Michigan State University. This resource provides updates and enhancements to the Seed Oil Fatty Acid (SOFA) database at the Max Rubner-Institute (http://sofa.mri.bund.de). The PlantFA Database contains data and references for hundreds of fatty acids synthesized by thousands of plants along with their phylogenetic relationships. Currently the LIPID MAPS Structure Database contains over 550 plant fatty acids with links to the corresponding PlantFA online source, for example Coniferonic acid with a PlantFA id of 10121.

The LIPID MAPS Structure Database (LMSD) is a relational database encompassing structures and annotations of biologically relevant lipids and includes representative examples from each category of the LIPID MAPS Lipid Classification System. LMSD is the largest public lipid-only database in the world, containing over 40,000 unique lipid structures. Entries include lipids from human, mouse, plants, bacteria, fungi, algae and marine organisms, and computationally generated structures (annotated as such).

We are pleased to announce a collaboration with William (Bill) W. Christie, who has kindly agreed to share some of the valuable lipid resources from his website, 'The Lipid Web'.
To that end, his blog,
"Lipid Matters - A Personal Blog"
is now available via the LIPID MAPS Lipidomics Gateway.
The July 19th, 2017 entry begins:
In the search for new antibiotics, lipopeptides appear to offer great potential if problems of toxicity can be overcome. Paenibacillus sp. have proved to be of special interest, and a new report describes a fresh isolate that produces novel cyclic and linear lipopeptides . . . more lipid matters

LIPID MAPS Structure Drawing Tools - Draw and save complex lipid structures using either a simple menu-based interface or by entering an abbreviation (where appropriate). Structures are rendered with Javascript / Ketcher and may be saved in a number of formats.

LIPID MAPS mass spectrometry combinatorial expansion package - The LIPID MAPS mass spectrometry combinatorial expansion package contains a set of PHP scripts to generate datasets contining species name, m/z and molecular formula for some of the main lipid categories: Glycerophospholipids (GP); Glycerolipids (GP); Cardiolipins (GP); Sphingolipids (SP). Generate a tabular output of lipid species containing the species abbreviation, nominal mass, exact mass (or m/z if charged), molecular formula, ion type (if specified) by a combinatorial expansion of a user-specified range of chain lengths and chain-length-to-double-bond restrictions. The output is printed to standard output (screen) but may conveniently be saved to a tab-delimited file.

LIPID MAPS Classification updates: The LIPID MAPS Classification system, comprised of eight lipid categories -- Fatty Acyls, Glycerolipids, Glycerophospholipids, Sphingolipids, Sterol Lipids, Prenol Lipids, Saccharolipids, and Polyketides, each with its own subclassification hierarchy -- now includes a new Polyketides class, "Phenolic lipids", with 5 subclasses; In addition, there are now 3 new subclasses of Octadecanoids; 3 new subclasses of Eicosanoids; and 7 new subclasses of Docosanoids.

LIPID MAPS REST service The LIPID MAPS REST service enables access to a variety of data (including lipid structures and lipid-related genes/proteins) using HTTP requests. These requests may be carried out using a web browser or may be embedded in 3rd party applications or scripts to enable programmatic access. Most modern programming languages including PHP, Perl, Python, Java and Javascript have the capability to create HTTP request and interact with datasets such as this REST service.
Funding opportunity - The NBIA Disorders Association is accepting applications for one-year grants for related to the early detection, diagnosis, or treatment of patients with two forms of NBIA: Beta-propeller Protein-Associated Neurodegeneration (BPAN), and Fatty Acid Hydroxylase-associated Neurodegeneration (FAHN), caused by a mutation in the FA2H gene.

MS Analysis Tools - Perform searches with precursor ion or product ion peaklists on a variety of lipid classes, where structures are generated by computational methods or are present in the LIPID MAPS structure database. Display various structural properties (exact mass, formula, abbreviation, etc.) for matched ions with links to molecular structures and isotopic distribution profiles where appropriate. Generate in-silico product ion peaklists for glycosphingolipids.

Lipid of the Month Archive - The LIPID MAPS Lipid of the Month Archive currently lists lipids highlighted from August, 2012 - present. For each lipid, the structure, lipid name, and a brief description are shown. Each lipid is linked to the corresponding entry in the LIPID MAPS Structure Database (LMSD), where LIPID MAPS Classification information, external database IDs, and other annotations may be viewed and downloaded.
