Hands-on for 'Mass spectrometry: GC-MS data processing (with XCMS, RAMClustR, RIAssigner, and matchms)' tutorial
The questions this addresses are:
- What are the main steps of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) data processing for metabolomic analysis?
- What similarity metrics can be used to compare a pair of mass spectra and what are the differences between them?
- Do you know any alternative tools that can be used in place of the individual steps of this workflow?
The objectives are:
- To learn about the key steps in the preprocessing and analysis of untargeted GC-MS metabolomics data.
- To explore what open-source alternative tools can be used in the analysis of GC-MS data, learn about their possible parametrisations.
- To analyse authentic data samples and compare them with a data library of human metabolome, composed from a collection of mostly endogenous compounds.
