CoreMS
CoreMS is a comprehensive mass spectrometry framework for software development and data analysis of small molecules analysis.
Data handling and software development for modern mass spectrometry (MS) is an interdisciplinary endeavor requiring skills in computational science and a deep understanding of MS. To enable scientific software development to keep pace with fast improvements in MS technology, we have developed a Python software framework named CoreMS. The goal of the framework is to provide a fundamental, high-level basis for working with all mass spectrometry data types, allowing custom workflows for data signal processing, annotation, and curation. The data structures were designed with an intuitive, mass spectrometric hierarchical structure, thus allowing organized and easy access to the data and calculations. Moreover, CoreMS supports direct access for almost all vendors’ data formats, allowing for the centralization and automation of all data processing workflows from the raw signal to data annotation and curation.
- reproducible pipeline
- logical mass spectrometric data structure
- self-containing data and metadata storage
- modern molecular formulae assignment algorithms

CoreMS Installation
pip install corems
By default the molecular formula database will be generated using SQLite
To use Postgresql the easiest way is to build a docker container:
docker-compose up -d
-
Change the url_database on MSParameters.molecular_search.url_database to:
"postgresql+psycopg2://coremsappdb:coremsapppnnl@localhost:5432/coremsapp"
-
Set the url_database env variable COREMS_DATABASE_URL to:
"postgresql+psycopg2://coremsappdb:coremsapppnnl@localhost:5432/coremsapp"
Thermo Raw File Access:
To be able to open thermo file a installation of pythonnet is needed:
-
Windows:
pip install pythonnet
-
Mac and Linux:
brew install mono pip install pythonnet
Another option is to run the docker stack that will start the CoreMS containers:
Molecular Database and Jupyter Notebook Containers
A docker container containing:
- A custom python distribution will all dependencies installed
- A Jupyter notebook server with workflow examples
- A PostgreSQL database for the molecular formulae assignment
If you don't have docker installed, the easiest way is to install docker for desktop
-
Start the containers using docker-compose (easiest way):
On docker-compose-jupyter.yml there is a volume mapping for the tests_data directory with the data provided for testing, to change to your data location:
- locate the volumes on docker-compose-jupyter.yml:
volumes: - ./tests/tests_data:/home/CoreMS/data
- change "./tests/tests_data" to your data directory location
volumes: - path_to_your_data_directory:/home/corems/data
- save the file and then call:
docker-compose -f docker-compose-jupyter.yml up
-
Another option is to manually build the containers:
-
Build the corems image:
docker build -t corems:local .
-
Start the database container:
docker-compose up -d
-
Start the Jupyter Notebook:
docker run --rm -v ./data:/home/CoreMS/data corems:local
-
Open your browser, copy and past the URL address provided in the terminal:
http://localhost:8888/?token=<token>.
