specL

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.

A client to simplify fetching predictions from the Koina web service. Koina is a model repository enabling the remote execution of models. Predictions are generated as a response to HTTP/S requests, the standard protocol used for nearly all web traffic.

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.

The Spectra package defines an efficient infrastructure for storing and handling mass spectrometry spectra and functionality to subset, process, visualize and compare spectra data. It provides different implementations (backends) to store mass spectrometry data. These comprise backends tuned for fast data access and processing and backends for very large data sets ensuring a small memory footprint.

Optimizing methods for liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) poses a nontrivial challenge. The rawDiag package facilitates rational method optimization by generating MS operator-tailored diagnostic plots of scan-level metadata. The package is designed for use on the R shell or as a Shiny application on the Orbitrap instrument PC.

Account for missing values in label-free mass spectrometry data without imputation. The package implements a probabilistic dropout model that ensures that the information from observed and missing values are properly combined. It adds empirical Bayesian priors to increase power to detect differentially abundant proteins.
