Open-Source Platform for the Analysis of Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) Data

The analysis of protein mixtures by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) requires tools for viewing and navigating LC-MS data, locating peptides in LC-MS data, and eliminating low-quality peptides. msInspect, an open source platform, can carry out these steps for single experiments and can align and normalize peptide features in comparative studies with multiple LC-MS runs. In addition, msInspect can analyze quantitative studies with and without isotopic labels to generate peptide arrays.
