| Description: | While tools for the automated analysis of MS and LC-MS/ MS data are continuously improving,
it is still often the case that at the end of an experiment,
the mass spectrometrists will spend time carefully examining individual spectra.
Current software support is mostly provided only by the instrument vendors,
and the available software tools are often instrument-dependent. Such software can only be used
to analyze data from a specific instrument, and this causes serious problems
for laboratories that use more than one instrument.
This tight software-instrument relationship also causes problems for laboratories that
do not possess their own instruments, and have to obtain mass spectra from other,
collaborating, laboratories.
To provide a solution to these limitations I have started to develop mMass - open source
multi-platform tool for precise mass spectrometric data analysis and interpretation. |
