The size of the putative lipidome far exceeds the number currently classified, despite a decade of work. Automated classification would benefit ongoing classification efforts by decreasing the time needed and increasing the accuracy of classification while providing classifications for mass spectral identification algorithms.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We introduce a tool that automates classification into the LIPID MAPS ontology of known lipids with &amp;gt;95% accuracy and novel lipids with 63% accuracy. The classification is based upon simple chemical characteristics and modern machine learning algorithms. The decision trees produced are intelligible and can be used to clarify implicit assumptions about the current LIPID MAPS classification scheme. These characteristics and decision trees are made available to facilitate alternative implementations. We also discovered many hundreds of lipids that are currently misclassified in the LIPID MAPS database, strongly underscoring the need for automated classification.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: Source code and chemical characteristic lists as SMARTS search strings are available under an open-source license at https:\/\/www.github.com\/princelab\/lipid_classifier.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0ryanmt@byu.net<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu723","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,31]],"date-time":"2014-10-31T00:44:56Z","timestamp":1414716296000},"page":"621-625","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Automated structural classification of lipids by machine learning"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Ryan","family":"Taylor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and 2Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryan H.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and 2Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryan D.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and 2Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Porter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and 2Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Dalgleish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and 2Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John T.","family":"Prince","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and 2Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020116162007200_btu723-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2475","DOI":"10.1351\/pac199769122475","article-title":"Nomenclature of glycolipids","volume":"69","author":"Chester","year":"1997","journal-title":"Pure Appl.
