Description gc2ms is an OMIC data pre-processing tool for the classification and alignment of raw GCxGC MS data. The tool reads retention times, intensities and mass charge (M/Z) data from netCDF format files, and outputs correctly aligned peak intensity data for classified M/Z values.

gc2ms uses the two-dimensional Correlation Optimized Warping (COW) algorithm, with curve matching, centering and rescaling to identify alignment parameters. The parameters are refined iteratively based on detected patterns.

  • Step 1: Calculate shift/alignment coefficients
  • Step 2: Apply alignment coefficients to the GCxGC chromotograph generated at each M/Z value in the M/Z classification
  • Step 3: Pool the results

The classified, aligned spectrum can then be used as input to further analysis, such as biomarker identification and classification.

The gc2msclass tool processes massive datasets -- input datasets can be 1GB or larger -- and users can select dozens of datasets to align during a single gc2msclass run. The table below gives execution times for the classification and alignment of sample dataset collections from the cceHUB repository.
