The Spectra package defines an efficient infrastructure for storing and handling

mass spectrometry spectra and functionality to subset, process, visualize and

compare spectra data. It provides different implementations (backends) to store

mass spectrometry data. These comprise backends tuned for fast data access and

processing and backends for very large data sets ensuring a small memory

footprint.



A (possibly incomplete) list of available backends (along with a link to the R

package providing it) is shown below:



- `MsBackendMemory` (package: *Spectra*): *default* backend which keeps all data

  in memory. Optimized for fast processing.

- `MsBackendDataFrame` (package: *Spectra*): alternative to the

  `MsBackendMemory` also keeping all data in memory, but supporting `S4` objects

  as spectra variables because the data is stored internally in a `DataFrame`.

- `MsBackendMzR` (package: *Spectra*): by using the `mzR` package it supports

  import of MS data from mzML, mzXML and CDF files. This backend keeps only

  general spectra variables in memory and retrieves the peaks data (m/z and

  intensity values) on-the-fly from the original data files. The backend has

  thus a smaller memory footprint compared to in-memory backends.

- `MsBackendHdf5Peaks` (package: *Spectra*): on-disk backend similar to

  `MsBackendMzR`, but the peaks data is stored in HDF5 files (general spectra

  variables are kept in memory).

- `MsBackendMgf` (package

  [*MsBackendMgf*](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/MsBackendMgf): allows

  to import/export data in mascot generic format (MGF). Extends the

  `MsBackendDataFrame` and keeps thus all data, after import, in memory.

- `MsBackendMsp` (package

  [*MsbackendMsp*](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/MsBackendMsp): allows

  to import/export data in NIST MSP format. Extends the `MsBackendDataFrame` and

  keeps thus all data, after import, in memory.

- `MsBackendMassbank` (package

  [*MsBackendMassbank*](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/MsBackendMassbank)):

  allows to import/export data in MassBank text file format. Extends the

  `MsBackendDataFrame` and keeps thus all data, after import, in memory.

- `MsBackendMassbankSql` (package

  [*MsBackendMassbank*](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/MsBackendMassbank)):

  allows to directly connect to a MassBank SQL database to retrieve all MS data

  and variables. Has a minimal memory footprint because all data is retrieved

  on-the-fly from the SQL database.

- `MsBackendRawFileReader` (package

  [*MsBackendRawFileReader*](https://github.com/fgcz/MsBackendRawFileReader)):

  implements a backend for reading MS data from Thermo Fisher Scientific's raw

  data files using the manufacturer's NewRawFileReader .Net libraries. The

  package generalizes the functionality introduced by the `rawrr` package.

- `MsBackendHmdbXml` (package

  [*MsbackendHmdb*](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/MsBackendHmdb)):

  allows import of MS data from xml files of the Human Metabolome Database

  (HMDB). Extends the `MsBackendDataFrame` and keeps thus all data, after

  import, in memory.

- `MsBackendSql` (package

  [*MsBackendSql*](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/MsBackendSql)):

  stores all MS data in a SQL database and has thus a minimal memory footprint.

- `MsBackendCompDb` (package

  [*CompoundDb*](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/CompoundDb): provides

  access to spectra data (spectra and peaks variables) from a *CompDb*

  database. Has a small memory footprint because all data (except precursor m/z

  values) are retrieved on-the-fly from the database.

- `MsBackendTimsTof` (package

  [*MsBackendTimsTof*](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/MsBackendTimsTof):

  allows import of data from Bruker TimsTOF raw data files (using the

  `opentimsr` R package).

- `MsBackendWeizMass` (package

  [*MsBackendWeizMass*](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/MsBackendWeizMass):

  allows to access MS data from WeizMass MS/MS spectral databases.
