ms1-id 0.1.8

Annotate LC-MS1 data, MS imaging data or pseudo MS/MS spectra using reference MS/MS libraries

ms1_id

Full-scan MS data from both LC-MS and MS imaging capture multiple ion forms, including their in/post-source fragments. Here we leverage such fragments to structurally annotate full-scan data from LC-MS or MS imaging by matching against MS/MS spectral libraries.

ms1_id is a Python package that annotates full-scan MS data using tandem MS libraries, specifically:

• annotate pseudo MS/MS spectra: mgf files
• annotate LC-MS data: mzML or mzXML files
• annotate MS imaging data: imzML and ibd files
• build indexed MS/MS libraries from mgf or msp files (see Flash entropy for more details)

Workflow

Example annotations

Installation

pip install ms1_id

Python 3.9+ is required. It has been tested on macOS (14.6, M2 Max) and Linux (Ubuntu 20.04).

Usage

Note: Indexed libraries are needed for the workflow. You can download the indexed GNPS library here.

wget https://github.com/Philipbear/ms1_id/releases/latest/download/indexed_gnps_libs.zip
unzip indexed_gnps_libs.zip -d db

Annotate pseudo MS/MS spectra

If you have pseudo MS/MS spectra in mgf format, you can directly annotate them:

ms1_id annotate --input_file pseudo_msms.mgf --libs db/gnps.pkl db/gnps_k10.pkl --min_score 0.7 --min_matched_peak 3

Here, two indexed libraries are searched against, and the result tsv files will be saved in the same directory as the input file.

For more options, run:

ms1_id annotate --help

---

Annotate LC-MS data

To annotate LC-MS data, here is an example command:

ms1_id lcms --project_dir lc_ms --sample_dir data --ms1_id_libs db/gnps.pkl db/gnps_k10.pkl --ms2_id_lib db/gnps.pkl

Here, lc_ms is the project directory. Raw mzML or mzXML files are stored in the lc_ms/data folder. Both MS1 and MS/MS annotations will be performed, and the results can be accessed from aligned_feature_table.tsv.

For more options, run:

ms1_id lcms --help

Expected runtime is <3 min for a single LC-MS file. If it takes longer than 10 min, please increase the --mass_detect_int_tol parameter (default: 2e5 for Orbitraps, 5e2 for QTOFs).

---

Annotate MS imaging data

To annotate MS imaging data, here is an example command:

ms1_id msi --project_dir msi --libs db/gnps.pkl db/gnps_k10.pkl --n_cores 12

Here, msi is the project directory. Raw imzML and ibd files are stored in the msi folder, and 12 cores will be used for parallel processing. Annotation results can be accessed from ms1_id_annotations_derep.tsv

For more options, run:

ms1_id msi --help

Expected runtime <5 min for a single MS imaging dataset.

---

Build indexed MS/MS libraries

To build your own indexed library, run:

ms1_id index --ms2db library.msp --peak_scale_k 10 --peak_intensity_power 0.5

For more options, run:

ms1_id index --help

Demo

We provide a demo script to prepare the environment, download libraries, download LC-MS data and run the annotation workflow.

bash run.sh
