MS-DIAL
Objective
MS-DIAL was launched as a universal program for untargeted metabolomics that supports multiple instruments (GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, LC/MS, and LC/MS/MS) and MS vendors (Agilent, Bruker, LECO, Sciex, Shimadzu, Thermo, and Waters). Common data formats such as netCDF (AIA) and mzML, can also be managed in our project. In addition, we released several MSP files including both EI- and MS/MS spectra as a ‘start-up kit’. Moreover, MS-DIAL internally has a version of Fiehn lab’s GC/MS database (oriented by FAME RI index), and in silico retention time- and MS/MS database for LC/MS/MS based lipidomics. The isotope labeled tracking can also be executed in LC/MS project.

It features
(1) spectral deconvolution for both GC/MS and data-independent MS/MS,
(2) streamlined criteria for peak identification,
(3) support of all data processing steps from raw data import to statistical analysis,
and (4) user-friendly graphic user interface.

MS-DIAL LipidBlast (version 68)
Last edited in April 21th, 2022.
MS-DIAL internally has the theoretical MS/MS spectra for lipid annotations.
Below is the LipidBlast (fork) templates that MS-DIAL partially uses.
The nomenclature for lipid classes in MS-DIAL lipidomics is shown at 'Lipid nomenclature in MS-DIAL lipidomics'.

Programs supporting MS-DIAL output
The MS-CleanR package provides functions for feature filtering and annotation of LC-MS data.
The program implements a metabolic reaction network (MRN) based recursive algorithm for metabolite annotation using MS/MS.
The feature-based molecular networking (FBMN) supports the result of MS-DIAL by using "GNPS export" in alignment result export window.
This is designed for the identification and classification of regulated metabolite families by MS1 features and MS/MS.
This supports rule based lipid identifications by means of MS/MS library.
