The list of identified metabolites in a given experiment

Usage

idList(object, id.database = mslib)

# S4 method for MetaboSet
idList(object, id.database = mslib)

Arguments

object

A 'MetaboSet' S4 object containing the experiment data. The experiment has to be previously deconvolved, aligned and identified.

id.database

The mass-spectra library to be compared with the empirical spectra. By default, the MassBank - Mass Bank of North America (MoNa) database are employed (mslib object).

Value

idList returns an S3 object:

AlignID

The unique Tag for found metabolite by eRah. Each metabolite found by eRah for a given experiment has an unique AlignID tag number.

tmean

The mean compound retention time.

Name.X

the name of the Xst/nd/rd... hit. idList return as many X (hits) as n.putative selected with identifyComp.

FoundIn

The number of samples in which the compound has been detected (the number of samples where the compound area is non-zero).

MatchFactor.X

The match factor/score of spectral similarity (spectral correlation).

DB.Id.X

The identification number of the library. Each metbolite in the reference library has a different DB.Id number.

CAS.X

the CAS number of each identified metabolite.

Details

Returns an identification table containing the names, match scores, and other variables for a given experiment.
