In nontarget: Detecting Isotope, Adduct and Homologue Relations in LC-MS Data

Description

Grouping of peaks in a HRMS data set for (1) isotopic pattern relations and (2) different adducts of the same molecule; detection of (3) homologue series. Isotopic pattern and adduct groups can then be related to their (unknown) candidate chemical component, with homologue series information attached. Includes various plotting and filtering functions for e.g. mass defects, frequent m/z distances, components vs. non-components, adduct frequencies.

Package:	nontarget
Type:	Package
Version:	1.9

License:	GPL-3

Screens a HRMS data set for peaks related by (1) isotopic patterns and/or (2) different adducts of the same molecule and/or (3) being part of a homologue series, including various plausibility checks. The resulting isotopic pattern groups and adduct groups can then be combined to components, with each component tagged if being part of a homologue series. This does not require prior knowledge about the chemical nature of the components assigned.

Includes various plotting functions, such as (a) m/z vs. RT vs. mass defect, (b) mass defect vs. detected isotope m/z increments, (c) adduct frequencies and their intensity distributions, (d) relations among peaks within single isotope/adduct groups and within single components and (e) homologue series within RT vs. m/z plots. Allows filtering HRMS data for mass defects, satellite peaks, frequent m/z distances and components vs. non-components. Lists of most-common adducts and isotopes are provided or may be user-defined.

Requires HRMS centroid peak lists as input, i.e., a dataframe or matrix with values of (a) m/z, (b) intensity and (c) retention time (RT) per peak. In addition, tolerances for m/z, RT and uncertainties in peak intensity must be defined by the user.
