Hi Martin, I too wanted to be able to add together scans, or even better subtract one from another. This would have been a good way to remove background peaks by subtracting blank runs for example. However when you sit down and think about this it becomes very problematic for accurate mass dat

Dear Yee-soon, I have recently had the task of installing a number of copies of mzMine 2.6 and have a few modifications to the official setup instructions. It may be worth me reproducing them here to make sure you have not missed anything. It's also worth noting that you need a good deal of mem

[Mzmine-devel] Caution with Gap fill re: Identification

2012-03-28 Thread mark.earll
Dear fellow mzMine users, We have discovered a subtle problem with using the Gap-Fill function for aligned peak lists. The average mass is calculated after gap-filling and this appears to often be different than the true exact mass, presumably due to gap filled peaks with slightly different ma

Hi Tomas, Of course I've just realised the reason for the CSV issue is because you have commas in the chemical names when they are brought back from the external database.. i.e 3-Amino-1,2,4,-triazole Not sure how this can be overcome Cheers Mark -- -

Hi Tomas, I have left my PC running for 4 days and the gap filling is still only 48% complete. Since it was only 32% complete after one day it seems to be getting slower with time. Is there any reason this is so computationally intensive or is there a bug? Many thanks, Mark -- --

Dear Tomas, I am finding the gap filling algorithm very slow in mzmine. Its been running all day on my 210 samples and only 32% complete. Considering the RANSAC alignment only took 20 mins or so on the same data, this seems surprising. I would have though the RANSAC routine would be more comput
