MALDIquant (version 1.11)

MALDIquant-package: Quantitative Analysis of Mass Spectrometry Data

Description

MALDIquant provides a complete analysis pipeline for MALDI-TOF and other 2-dimensional mass spectrometry data. Distinctive features include baseline subtraction methods such as TopHat or SNIP, peak alignment using warping functions, handling of replicated measurements as well as allowing spectra with different resolutions.

For a first overview run demo("MALDIquant").
