MsExperiment
github.com/rformassspectrometry/msexperimentInfrastructure to store and manage all aspects related to a complete proteomics or metabolomics mass spectrometry (MS) experiment. The MsExperiment package provides light-weight and flexible containers for MS experiments building on the new MS infrastructure provided by the Spectra, QFeatures and related packages. Along with raw data representations, links to original data files and sample annotations, additional metadata or annotations can also be stored within the MsExperiment container. To guarantee maximum flexibility only minimal constraints are put on the type and content of the data within the containers.

mzR provides a unified API to the common file formats and parsers available for mass spectrometry data. It comes with a subset of the proteowizard library for mzXML, mzML and mzIdentML. The netCDF reading code has previously been used in XCMS.
Mass spectrometry (MS) data backend supporting import and handling of MS/MS spectra from NIST MSP Format (msp) files. Import of data from files with different MSP *flavours* is supported. Objects from this package add support for MSP files to Bioconductor's Spectra package. This package is thus not supposed to be used without the Spectra package that provides a complete infrastructure for MS data handling.
Mass spectrometry (MS) data backend supporting import and export of MS/MS spectra data from Mascot Generic Format (mgf) files. Objects defined in this package are supposed to be used with the Spectra Bioconductor package. This package thus adds mgf file support to the Spectra package.
SQL-based mass spectrometry (MS) data backend supporting also storange and handling of very large data sets. Objects from this package are supposed to be used with the Spectra Bioconductor package. Through the MsBackendSql with its minimal memory footprint, this package thus provides an alternative MS data representation for very large or remote MS data sets.
MetaboLights is one of the main public repositories for storage of metabolomics experiments, which includes analysis results as well as raw data. The MsBackendMetaboLights package provides functionality to retrieve and represent mass spectrometry (MS) data from MetaboLights. Data files are downloaded and cached locally avoiding repetitive downloads. MS data from metabolomics experiments can thus be directly and seamlessly integrated into R-based analysis workflows with the Spectra and MsBackendMetaboLights package.
This package wraps the functionality of the Thermo Fisher Scientic RawFileReader .NET 8.0 assembly. Within the R environment, spectra and chromatograms are represented by S3 objects. The package provides basic functions to download and install the required third-party libraries. The package is developed, tested, and used at the Functional Genomics Center Zurich, Switzerland.
