INTRODUCTION

This package contains a modified version of MZmine 2. The modification allows the user to export the matrices of the peak shape correlation in samples. The modification is done by Joe Wandy, 2012.

The original MZmine 2 can be downloaded from http://mzmine.sourceforge.net/ .

INSTRUCTIONS

To export the peak shape correlations:
1. Select "Peak list methods"/"Export/Import"/"Export correlations of peaks to CSV file"
2. Select the output directory, field separator for the tabulated text file(s) and the retention time window (in minutes).

The program creates one tabulated text file per each sample (peak list) with the following structure:
-Column 1: Mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of the peak
-Column 2: Retention time (RT) of the peak (in minutes)
-Following columns: Peak shape correlations between peak i (rows) and peak j (columns j+2)

'NaN' entry in a file corresponds to a missing value when the pair of peaks has no overlap.

Otherwise, the functionality is identical to the original version of MZmine 2.
