A neural network for large-scale clustering of peptide mass spectra

    Nature Methods volume 19, pages 658–659 (2022)Cite this article

    Subjects

    Repository-scale analysis of hundreds of millions to billions of mass spectra is a challenging endeavor due to the complexity and volume of associated data. A deep neural network embedding method is presented that enables large-scale investigation of repeatedly observed yet consistently unidentified mass spectra.
