# matchmsextras

Additional functionalities to be used with [matchms](https://github.com/matchms/matchms).

Usually this is stuff which either in scope and/or in code quality and/or in degree of unit testing does not match the criteria we have for matchms. For producing the results shown in our [Spec2Vec article, PLoS Computational Biology, 2021](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1008724) we used code from matchmsextras 0.1.0. To fully reproduce those results you can install this via pip install matchmsextras==0.1.0. For all other purposes we recommend using the latest release.

## Installation

` pip install matchmsextras `
