We slightly revised the IDSL.IPA algorithm relative to our publication in the Journal of Proteome Research that are listed for each section:
- PARAM_PAR was added to be consistent with sample mode and peak mode parallelization modes to generate individual peaklists.
- PARAM0009 was updated to save untargeted extracted ion chromatogram (EIC) figures for individual HRMS files.
- PARAM0012 has changed its functionality and allows users to decide the mass difference between the isotopologues. This feature allows to screen for C, Cl, Br, S, Se, ... isotopologues or any constant mass difference. Furthermore, negative values are also allowed for this parameter to search for lower mass isotopologues.
- PARAM0018 was removed from the workflow.
- Gaussianity of the chromatographic peaks are calculated using the Pearson correlation coefficient instead of Kolmogorov–Smirnov test.
- PARAM0037 also changed its original functionality to flag suspicious peaks on the aligned tables.
- PARAM_ALG1-ALG4 parameters were added to calculate correlation of aligned peak heights to detect related peaks using Pearson correlation coefficients. These correlation results are stored as
alignedPeakHeightTableCorrelationList.Rdata
in an R list format. Each (m/z-RT) on the aligned table is presented with its correlating peaks.
- Compound-centric annotation can aggregate untargeted EICs in separate folders for each compound when PARAM0009 was selected YES in the peak-picking step.
