| Description | This program is a JAVA program which can align metabolite peaks from GC-MS analysis using retention time and MS fragmentation pattern information and also GUI-based edit the alignment. It can use NIST format or MassBase MST format text files to form the alignment. As edit functions, it contains add/delete function of peak in peak group, add/delete function of peak group, merge function of peaks and peak groups, etc. It can also annotate aligned peaks using pre-defined data library of MS fragmentation pattern of known metabolites. User can edit the data library. Resulting alignment can save as text file. Other programs (Microsoft Excel, etc) can use this output file for comparative and/or statistical analysis. Old version (Metabolometrisc) is downloadable. |

| Input example | After setting of home directory by "Open Project", you can convert input data with NIST or MassBase MST format to a format for this program by using "Import Other Data". Next step is cricking "Peak Alignment" button and to select data files for the alignment process. Peak alignment process is run by cricking " Align" button. The results can save from File menu. |
