Overview

MRMhub is a set of tools for reproducible raw data processing, post-processing, quality control, and reporting of targeted quantitative small-molecule mass spectrometry experiments using Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM). The platform includes two complementary tools:

  • INTEGRATOR: standalone application for automated peak detection, picking, and integration from mzML files.

  • QUANT: R package providing a function library for data post- processing, including quantitation, data corrections, quality control, and reporting.

The modular functionalities and defined data structures support diverse analytical designs, data formats, and processing tasks, as found in metabolomics, lipidomics and other quantitative small molecule analyses. MRMhub is intended for both analytical and bioinformatics scientists and supports collaboration between them. It enables the creation of efficient, customizable, supervisable, and documented end-to-end data processing workflows through its functions and data objects.

Usage

INTEGRATOR (Peak Integration)

To download the latest release of INTEGRATOR, visit the Releases page. Choose the appropriate version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and download the corresponding executable file. Unzip the downloaded file and double-click the executable to launch the application. Refer to the Documentation for detailed instructions on how to use INTEGRATOR.

QUANT (Postprocessing and Quality Control)

Install the mrmhub package from Github using the following command:

if (!require("pak")) install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("SLINGhub/MRMhub")
library(mrmhub)

pak resolves locked packages and parallelises downloads; remotes::install_github("SLINGhub/MRMhub") is an equivalent fallback. For detailed usage instructions and examples, refer to the Documentation.
