Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: pandas 2.2+, xcms 4.0+

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures
  • R: packageVersion('<pkg>') then ?function_name to verify parameters
  • CLI: <tool> --version then <tool> --help to confirm flags

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

Metabolite Annotation

Database Matching by m/z

Goal: Generate putative metabolite identifications by matching observed m/z values against HMDB.

Approach: Convert m/z to neutral mass by subtracting adduct mass, then query HMDB within a specified ppm tolerance.

"Annotate my metabolomics features with compound identities" → Match detected features against metabolite databases by exact mass, MS/MS spectra, and retention time to assign compound identities with confidence levels.

r
library(MetaboAnalystR)

# Load feature table
features <- read.csv('feature_table.csv')

# Search HMDB by exact mass
search_hmdb <- function(mz, adduct = '[M+H]+', ppm = 10) {
    # Calculate neutral mass from m/z
    adduct_masses <- list(
        '[M+H]+' = 1.007276,
        '[M+Na]+' = 22.989218,
        '[M-H]-' = -1.007276,
        '[M+Cl]-' = 34.969402
    )

    neutral_mass <- mz - adduct_masses[[adduct]]

    # Query HMDB (or local database)
    # Returns putative matches
    matches <- QueryHMDB(neutral_mass, ppm)
    return(matches)
}

# Apply to all features
annotations <- lapply(features$mz, function(m) search_hmdb(m, '[M+H]+', 10))

MS/MS Spectral Matching

python
from matchms import calculate_scores
from matchms.importing import load_from_mgf
from matchms.similarity import CosineGreedy

# Load query spectra
queries = list(load_from_mgf('sample_msms.mgf'))

# Load reference library (e.g., GNPS, MassBank)
references = list(load_from_mgf('reference_library.mgf'))

# Calculate similarity scores
similarity = CosineGreedy(tolerance=0.01)
scores = calculate_scores(references, queries, similarity)

# Get best matches
for query_idx, query in enumerate(queries):
    best_match_idx = scores.scores[:, query_idx].argmax()
    best_score = scores.scores[best_match_idx, query_idx]

    if best_score > 0.7:
        ref = references[best_match_idx]
        print(f'{query.get("precursor_mz")}: {ref.get("compound_name")} (score={best_score:.2f})')

MetFrag In Silico Fragmentation

r

    MetFragDatabaseType = 'HMDB',
    NeutralPrecursorMass = 147.0532

# Run fragmentation prediction
results <- run.metfrag(settings, spectrum_file = 'query_spectrum.txt')

RT Prediction for Validation

python
from deepchem.models import GraphConvModel
import pandas as pd

# Use predicted RT to validate annotations
# Compare observed RT with predicted RT from chemical structure

def validate_annotation(observed_rt, smiles, rt_model):
    '''Check if observed RT matches prediction'''
    predicted_rt = rt_model.predict(smiles)
    rt_error = abs(observed_rt - predicted_rt)

    if rt_error < 30:  # seconds
        return 'confident'
    elif rt_error < 60:
        return 'probable'
    else:
        return 'unlikely'

Confidence Levels (MSI)

r
# Metabolomics Standards Initiative levels
assign_confidence <- function(annotation) {
    if (!is.null(annotation$authentic_standard)) {
        return(1)  # Identified by authentic standard
    } else if (!is.null(annotation$msms_match) && annotation$msms_score > 0.8) {
        return(2)  # MS/MS match to database
    } else if (!is.null(annotation$formula_match)) {
        return(3)  # Formula confirmed
    } else if (!is.null(annotation$mass_match)) {
        return(4)  # Mass match only
    } else {
        return(5)  # Unknown
    }
}

# Apply to annotations
features$confidence_level <- sapply(annotations, assign_confidence)

xsa <- findAdducts(xsa, polarity = 'positive',
                   rules = c('[M+H]+', '[M+Na]+', '[M+K]+', '[M+NH4]+'))

# Get annotated features

            # Calculate possible neutral masses
            mass_h = ifelse(polarity == 'positive', mz - 1.007276, mz + 1.007276),

            # Query databases
            hmdb_match = list(query_hmdb(mass_h, ppm)),
            kegg_match = list(query_kegg(mass_h, ppm)),

            # Best match
            best_match = get_best_match(hmdb_match, kegg_match),
            compound_name = best_match$name,
            compound_id = best_match$id,
            mass_error_ppm = (abs(mz - best_match$mz) / mz) * 1e6
        )

    return(results)
}

query_hmdb <- function(mass, ppm) {
