The MSnbase package

MSnbase is an R/Bioconductor package that provides infrastructure for plotting, manipulation and processing mass spectrometry and proteomics data. The project was started by Laurent Gatto in October 2010 (Mon Oct 4 23:35:23 2010, according to the git log) and has, since then, benefited from various contributions, in particular Sebastian Gibb and Johannes Rainer.

The official page is the Bioconductor landing page (release or devel versions). The github page page is for active development, issue tracking and forking/pulling purposes.

To get an overview of the package, see the MSnbase-demo vignette. More vignettes are available in the Articles tab.

Installation

To install MSnbase

install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("MSnbase")

If you need the github version (not recommended unless you know what you are doing), use

BiocManager::install("lgatto/MSnbase")

Questions

General questions should be asked on the Bioconductor support forum, using MSnbase to tag the question. Feel also free to open a GitHub issue, in particular for bug reports.
