mpactr

Overview

mpactr is a collection of filters for the purpose of identifying high quality MS1 features by correcting peak selection errors introduced during the pre-processing of tandem mass spectrometry data.

Filters in this package address the following issues:

• filter_mispicked_ions(): removal of mispicked peaks, or those isotopic patterns that are incorrectly split during preprocessing.
• filter_group(): removal of features overrepresented in a specific group of samples; for example removal of features present in solvent blanks due to carryover between samples.
• filter_cv(): removal of non-reproducible features, or those that are inconsistent between technical replicates.
• filter_insource_ions(): removal of fragment ions created during the first ionization in the tandem MS/MS workflow.

All filters are independent, meaning they can be used to create a project-specific workflow, or you can learn more in the Getting Started page.
