Usage

MS^j is a package for loading, processing and plotting mass spectrometry data. It provides the following functionalities:

Getting information on the file
Load a file
Averaging mass spectra based on various criteria that may be combined
Chromatogram and extracted chromatograms
Processing the data
    smoothing
    baseline correction
    peak-picking
Calculation of isotopic distribution

To get information on a file:

info("path/to/file")

Mass spectra can be loaded by:

data = load("path/to/file")

And averaged as follow:

ms1 = average(data, MSj.Level(1))                   # full MS scans
ms2 = average(data, MSj.Level(2))                   # MS2 spectra
ms3 = average(data, MSj.Activation_Method("CID"))   # CID spectra

See the documentation for additional information.
