msXpertSuite
============
msXpertSuite (http://www.msxpertsuite.org) is a collection of programs to simulate and analyse mass
spectrometric data obtained on linear (bio-)polymers. It is the successor of GNU
polyXmass, first, and of massXpert, second.
Two programs, massXpert, mineXpert allow the user to perform the following:
massXpert
---------
- making brand new polymer chemistry definitions;
- using the definitions to perform easy calculations in a desktop
calculator-like manner;
- performing sophisticated polymer sequence editing and simulations;
- perform m/z list comparisons;
Chemical simulations encompass cleavage (either chemical or
enzymatic), gas-phase fragmentations, chemical modification of any
monomer in the polymer sequence, cross-linking of monomers in the
sequence, arbitrary mass searches, calculation of the isotopic
pattern...
mineXpert
---------
- Open mass spectrometry data files (mzML, mzXML, asc, xy, ...);
- Calculate and display the TIC chromatogram;
- For mobility data, calculate and display a mz=f(dt) color map;
- Integrate the data from the TIC chromatogram or color map
- to mass spectrum;
- to drift spectrum;
- back to TIC chromatogram (XIC chromatogram);
- reverse operations;
- Export the data to text files;
- Save plot to graphics files (pdf, png, jpg);
- Slice a big initial file into smaller chunks for easier mining;
- Define how mining activity is recorded on disk for later use;
- Convert mzML files into a private (albeit open) mass spectrometry
format that allows better performance (based on SQLite3);
- Scripting framework (JavaScript) allowing to process data and to
display the new data as graphs in the graphical user interface.
