Mass++

Mass++ provides visualization and analysis of mass spectrometry data for proteomics and metabolomics, supporting a modular plug-in architecture, multiple viewers, vendor-specific plug-ins for raw data file compatibility, and quantitative methods such as label-free quantitation.

Key Features:

• Plug-In Architecture: Uses a modular plug-in architecture that enables customization and extension through plug-ins.
• Visualization Capabilities: Includes multiple viewers for detailed visualization of mass spectrometry data.
• Comprehensive Analysis Methods: Provides analysis methods applicable to proteomics and metabolomics, including label-free quantitation.
• Data Format Compatibility: Supports vendor-specific plug-ins to read vendor raw data files from multiple mass spectrometry instruments.
• Development Platform: Allows development of additional functionality via scripts and plug-ins without modifying the core source code.

Scientific Applications:

• Proteomics: Analysis of protein expression and quantitative proteomics workflows using mass spectrometry data, including label-free quantitation.
• Metabolomics: Characterization and profiling of metabolites and metabolic profiles from mass spectrometry data.

Methodology:

Integration via a modular plug-in system that loads viewers and analysis methods, and supports label-free quantitation and vendor-specific plug-ins for handling raw mass spectrometry files.
