The ms_lims project provides a lightweight, portable yet production-grade solution for managing mass spectrometry based proteomics data.
MS-based proteomics produces large amounts of mass spectra that require processing, identification and possibly quantification before interpretation can be undertaken. High-throughput studies require automation of these various steps, and management of the data in association with the results obtained. We here present ms_lims, a freely available, open-source system based on a central database to automate data management and processing in MS-driven proteomics analyses.
