Advanced pipeline for lipidomics discovery applications
LipidFinder is an open-source Python workflow which searches a number of different databases to obtain putative identification of lipids, and assigns them to a class based on the LIPID MAPS classification system. The software quickly distinguishes and quantifies lipid-like features from contaminants, adducts, in-source fragments, isotopes, salt clusters and noise in high resolution liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) datasets that have been pre-aligned using XCMS or any other preprocessing tool provided the required input file format is preserved. Bear in mind the approach is not suitable for shotgun lipidomics, MS/MS or low resolution datasets.
