These slides present the bioinformatics for metabolite annotation of HR imaging MS. The bioinformatics was developed in the framework of the METASPACE project. METASPACE is a European Horizon2020 project on Bioinformatics for Spatial Metabolomics. Specifically, it aims at developing an engine for metabolite annotation of HR imaging mass spectrometry data. The project was funded in the Personalizing Health and Care program for 3 years (2015-2018) and is coordinated by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. The presentation was given at the METASPACE Training Course at OurCon'16 on 17.10.2016.
