Open mass spectrometric data files of a wide variety of formats, visualize and mine data graphically

SYNOPSIS

minexpert2 [options] [filename ...]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the mineXpert2 software.

This program can be used to load mass spectrometry data files and show the spectral data in a variety of graphical representations like plots, color maps. Any plot or color map can serve as a starting point for a mass data integration, like integrating a region of a TIC chromatogram to a mass spectrum or to a drift spectrum.

Integrations can be performed in any direction, like from a RT|MZ color map to a TIC chromatogram, for example, or from a drift spectrum to a TIC chromatogram.

The mineXpert2 program allows the user to perform the following tasks:

	•		Open mass spectrometry data files (mzML, mzXML, asc, xy, ...);
	•		Display in a table view the full data set, for easy filtering;
	•		Calculate and display the TIC chromatogram;
	•		Calculate and display a mz=f(rt) color map;
	•		For mobility data, calculate and display a mz=f(dt) color map;
	•		Integrate the mass spectrometric data from any kind of data representation (mass | drift spectra, TIC | XIC chromatogram, JD color maps) to any other kind of data representation;
	•		For any mass data feature (mass peak, TIC | XIC peak, color map) integrate to a XIC single intensity value);
	•		Powerful isotopic cluster calculation starting from a chemical formula, optionally with user-defined isotopic abundance ratios;
	•		Gaussian fit over any isotopic cluster to estimate the average mass of a given ion;
	•		Mouse-driven deconvolution of m/z data (charge envelope-based or isotopic cluster-based);
	•		Export the data to text files;
	•		Export the graphical representation of mass spectrometric data to graphics files of a number of formats (jpg, png, pdf).
