The Spectra package provides a central infrastructure for the
handling of Mass Spectrometry (MS) data. The package supports interchangeable
use of different backends to import MS data from a variety of sources (such as
mzML files). The MsBackendMsp package adds support for files in NIST MSP
format which are frequently used to share spectra libraries and hence enhances
small compound annotation workflows using the Spectra and
MetaboAnnotation packages (Rainer et al. 2022). This vignette
illustrates the usage of the MsBackendMsp package and how it can be used to
import and export data in MSP file format.
To install this package, start R and enter:
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("MsBackendMsp")This will install this package and all eventually missing dependencies.
The MSP file format allows to store MS/MS spectra (m/z and intensity of mass peaks) along with additional annotations for each spectrum. A single MSP file can thus contain a single or multiple spectra. Below we load the package and define the file name of an MSP file which is distributed with this package.
library(MsBackendMsp)
nist <- system.file("extdata", "spectrum2.msp", package = "MsBackendMsp")We next import the data into a Spectra object by specifying in the constructor
function the backend class which can be used to read the data (in our case a
MsBackendMsp).
sp <- Spectra(nist, source = MsBackendMsp())## Start data import from 1 files ... doneWith that we have now full access to all imported spectra variables that can be
listed with the spectraVariables function.

## [25] "formula" "PUBCHEMID"
## [27] "SOURCE" "COMMENT"
## [29] "Num.Peaks"Besides default spectra variables, such as msLevel, rtime, precursorMz, we
also have additional spectra variables such as the name or adduct that are
additional data fields from the MSP file.

## [2] "5-(4-Ethoxybenzylidene)-2-(4-morpholinyl)-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-one"sp$adduct## [1] "[M+H]+" "[M+H]+"The NIST file format is however only loosely defined and variety of flavors
(or dialects) exist which define their own data fields or use different names
for the fields. The MsBackendMsp supports data import/export from all MSP
format variations by defining and providing different mappings between MSP data
fields and spectra variables. Also user-defined mappings can be used, which
makes import from any MSP flavor possible. Pre-defined mappings between MSP data
fields and spectra variables (i.e. variables within the Spectra object) are
returned by the spectraVariableMapping function.

## exactmass rtime precursorMz adduct smiles
## "EXACTMASS" "RETENTIONTIME" "PRECURSORMZ" "PRECURSORTYPE" "SMILES"
## inchi polarity instrument
## "INCHI" "IONMODE" "INSTRUMENT"The names of this character vector represent the spectra variable names and
the values of the vector the MSP data fields. Note that by default, also all
data fields for which no mapping is provided are imported (with the field name
being used as spectra variable name).
This default mapping works well for MSP files from NIST or from other tools such as MS-DIAL. MassBank of North America MoNA however, uses a slightly different format. Below we read the first 6 lines of a MSP file from MoNA.
mona <- system.file("extdata", "minimona.msp", package = "MsBackendMsp")

## [2] "Synon: $:00in-source"
## [3] "DB#: MoNA000010"
## [4] "InChIKey: NCDNCNXCDXHOMX-XGKFQTDJSA-N"
## [5] "Instrument_type: Waters Synapt G2"
## [6] "Formula: C37H48N6O5S2"The first 6 lines from a NIST MSP file:
head(readLines(nist))## [1] "NAME: 3-Hydroxy-3-(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one"

## [3] "PRECURSORTYPE: [M+H]+"
## [4] "INSTRUMENTTYPE: IT/ion trap"
## [5] "INSTRUMENT: Thermo Finnigan LCQ Deca"
## [6] "SMILES: NA"MSP files with MoNA flavor use slightly different field names, that are also not
all upper case, and also additional fields are defined. While it is possible to
import MoNA flavored MSP files using the default variable mapping that was used
above, most of the spectra variables would however not mapped correctly to the
respective spectra variable in the resulting Spectra object (e.g. the
precursor m/z would not be available with the expected spectra variable
$precursorMz).
The spectraVariableMapping provides however also the mapping for MSP files
with MoNA flavor.

to provide any user-defined variable mapping with the mapping parameter thus
enabling to import from MSP files with a highly customized format.
Multiple values for a certain spectrum are represented as duplicated fields in
an MSP file. The MsBackendMsp supports also import of such data. MoNA MSP
files use for example multiple "Synon" fields to list all synonyms of a
compound. Below we extract such values for two spectra within our Spectra
object from MoNA.

export Spectra to files in MSP format. Below we export for example the
Spectra with data from MoNA to a temporary file, using the default NIST MSP
format.
tmpf <- tempfile()
export(sp_mona, backend = MsBackendMsp(), file = tmpf,
mapping = spectraVariableMapping(MsBackendMsp()))

flavor.
tmpf <- tempfile()
export(sp, backend = MsBackendMsp(), file = tmpf,
mapping = spectraVariableMapping(MsBackendMsp(), "mona"))

## [4] "PrecursorMZ: 284.0917"

## [6] "INSTRUMENTTYPE: IT/ion trap"Thus, this could also be used to convert between MSP files with different flavors.
