Point in melonnpan output

i notice that there are many metabolite’name contain point, such as
C16.0.ceramide…d18.1. ; butyrate…isobutytare. ; methylbutyric.aid…valeric…isovaleric. ;
i want to know what that point represent?

Hi @xiaoafei - you can safely ignore those as they are simply R’s way of converting variable names.

Many thanks,
