MsBackendMassIVE

Retrieve Mass Spectrometry Data from MassIVE

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 0.99.2

MassIVE is one of the main public repositories for storage of metabolomics experiments. The MsBackendMassIVE package provides functionality to retrieve and represent mass spectrometry (MS) data from MassIVE. Data files are downloaded and cached locally avoiding repetitive downloads. MS data from metabolomics experiments can thus be directly and seamlessly integrated into R-based analysis workflows with the Spectra and MsBackendMassIVE package.
