SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on merging mass spectrometry data from 61 scans to create a comprehensive dataset for peak identification. Participants explore various methods, including averaging intensity values and employing advanced algorithms to minimize artifacts in the merged data. Specific techniques for data integration, such as using interpolation or smoothing algorithms, are recommended to enhance the quality of the final dataset. The importance of understanding the characteristics of mass spectrometry data is emphasized for effective merging.

I have a collection of mass spectrometry data, about 61 scans, and I can graph them on top of each other to get a complete picture. But since each scan is only a chunk of the entire range, what ways are there to merge all the scans into one so that I can then start finding peaks and such? Would a straight average of the intensity values work? Or is there some nice algorithm that would merge the data without introducing too many artifacts?

I can't guess what you want to do? what's the character of spectrometry data? I'm sorry I can't understand...
