  • experimental design
  • data files
  • raw data: spectra and chromatograms
  • proteomics identification results and protein database
  • quantitative features

The respective data handling functionality is handled by dedicated packages such as Spectra for spectra data, QFeatures for quantitative features, Biostrings for fasta files, …

See the package homepage for more information.

This package is part of the RforMassSpectrometry initiative: https://www.rformassspectrometry.org/
