NAME
openms - library for LC/MS data management and analysis - metapackage
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the openms metapackage that depends on all the components of the
OpenMS software framework but the openms-doc documentation package. OpenMS offers an infrastructure for
the development of mass spectrometry-related software and powerful 2D and 3D visualization solutions.
OpenMS offers analyses for various quantitation protocols, including label-free quantitation, SILAC,
iTRAQ, SRM, SWATH… It provides build-in algorithms for de-novo identification and database search, as
well as adapters to other state-of-the art tools like X!Tandem, Mascot, OMSSA… OpenMS supports the
Proteomics Standard Initiative (PSI) formats for MS data and supports easy integration of tools into
workflow engines like Knime, Galaxy, WS-Pgrade, and TOPPAS via the TOPPtools concept and a unified
parameter handling.
