Visualizing and Preprocessing Hyphenated Mass Spectrometry Data Sets for Metabolite and Protein/Peptide Profiling

Manipulate, preprocess and visualize data from Liquid Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS). These large and high dimensional data sets are extensively utilized in proteomics and metabolomics research. Visualizing complex peptide or metabolite mixtures provides an intuitive method to evaluate the sample quality. In addition, methodical correction and preprocessing can lead to automated high throughput analysis of samples allowing accurate identification of significant metabolites and specific peptide features in a biological sample.

Batch Processing of Spectra Using Sequential and Parallel Computing

Use a single computer, a multicore computer, or a cluster of computers to preprocess a large set of mass spectrometry signals. Note: Parallel Computing Toolbox™ and MATLAB® Parallel Server™ are required for the last part of this example.
