# minexpert2(1)

Open mass spectrometric data files of a wide variety of formats, visualize and mine data graphically

## NAME

**mineXpert2** 		 — 			Open mass spectrometric data files of a wide variety of formats, visualize and mine data graphically

## SYNOPSIS

**minexpert2** \[*options\]  \[filename ...\]*

## DESCRIPTION

*This manual page documents briefly the* **mineXpert2** software.

This program can be used to load mass spectrometry data files and show the  spectral data in a variety of graphical representations like plots, color maps.  Any plot or color map can serve as a starting point for a mass data  integration, like integrating a region of a TIC chromatogram to a mass  spectrum or to a drift spectrum.

Integrations can be performed in any direction, like from a RT\|MZ color  map to a TIC chromatogram, for example, or from a drift spectrum to a  TIC chromatogram.

The **mineXpert2** program allows the user to perform the following tasks:

- •

  Open mass spectrometry data files (mzML, mzXML, asc, xy, ...);

- •

  Display in a table view the full data set, for easy filtering;

- •

  Calculate and display the TIC chromatogram;

- •

  Calculate and display a mz=f(rt) color map;

- •

  For mobility data, calculate and display a mz=f(dt) color map;

- •

  Integrate the mass spectrometric data from any kind of data   representation (mass \| drift spectra, TIC \| XIC chromatogram,  JD color maps) to any other kind of data representation;

- •

  For any mass data feature (mass peak, TIC \| XIC peak, color map)  integrate to a XIC single intensity value);

- •

  Powerful isotopic cluster calculation starting from a   chemical formula, optionally with user-defined isotopic abundance ratios;

- •

  Gaussian fit over any isotopic cluster to estimate the   average mass of a given ion;

- •

  Mouse-driven deconvolution of m/z data (charge envelope-based   or isotopic cluster-based);

- •

  Export the data to text files;

- •

  Export the graphical representation of mass spectrometric   data to graphics files of a number of formats (jpg, png, pdf).

## OPTIONS

## Useful reading

The program is documented fully in the *mineXpert2 User*  *Manual*, that is packaged in msxpertsuite-doc. That manual is  available in the form of a PDF-formatted file  (**/usr/share/doc/msxpertsuite/minexpert2-doc.pdf**).
