Data preparation

Download the demo data and refer this article.

We have positive and negative mode. For each mode, we have control, case and QC groups. Control group have 110 samples, and case group have 110 samples as well.

Raw data processing

massprocesser package is used to do the raw data processing. Please refer this website.

Positive mode

The code used to do raw data processing.

process_data(
  path = "mzxml_ms1_data/POS",
  polarity = "positive",
  ppm = 10,
  peakwidth = c(10, 60),
  threads = 4,
  output_tic = FALSE,
  output_bpc = FALSE,
  output_rt_correction_plot = FALSE,
  min_fraction = 0.5,
  group_for_figure = "QC"
)

All the results will be placed in the folder named mzxml_ms1_data/POS/Result. More information about that can be found here.

You can just load the object, which is a mass_dataset class object.

load("mzxml_ms1_data/POS/Result/object")

We can see that there are 10,149 metabolic features in positive mode.

You can use the plot_adjusted_rt() function to get the interactive plot.

load("mzxml_ms1_data/POS/Result/intermediate_data/xdata2")
####set the group_for_figure if you want to show specific groups. 
####And set it as "all" if you want to show all samples.
plot <-
massprocesser::plot_adjusted_rt(object = xdata2, 
                 group_for_figure = "QC", 
                 interactive = TRUE)
plot
