ShinyCardinal

ShinyCardinal covers all steps in mass spectrometry imaging data analysis from data preprocessing to metabolite identification.

Key Features:

• Background noise and matrix peak removal: Removes background noises and matrix peaks from MSI data.
• Deisotoping: Performs deisotoping of mass spectra.
• Absolute quantification: Enables absolute quantification of analytes.
• Network analysis: Supports network analysis for data interpretation.
• Metabolite identification: Facilitates metabolite identification from MSI datasets.

Scientific Applications:

• Cross-platform MSI analysis: Demonstrated with nine MSI datasets acquired from different mass spectrometry imaging platforms.

Methodology:

ShinyCardinal leverages the R package Cardinal as its computational foundation.
