Abstract

Read online

Unambiguous metabolite annotation is a critical, yet problematic step, in mass spectrometry based metabolomics. Here, Shahaf et al. present WEIZMASS, a platform consisting of a diverse spectral library of more than 3500 plant metabolites and software to aid their identification in biological samples.
