PRIMS-metabolomics toolset & Galaxy wrappers
============================================

Metabolomics module of Plant Research International's Mass Spectrometry (PRIMS) toolsuite.
This toolset consists of custom tools to enable metabolite identifications and
Retention Index (RI) based Quality Control (RIQC) for Mass Spectrometry metabolomics data.

History
=======

============== ======================================================================
Date            Changes
-------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
December 2014  * Added MsClust support for parsing XCMS alignment results.
               * Improved output reports for XCMS wrappers.
November 2014  * Added XCMS related tool wrappers (for metaMS and diffreport)
September 2014 * Added new membership cutoff option for final clusters in MsClust
               * Improved MsClust memory usage for large datasets
               * Simplified MsClust HTML report
               * Added option for microminutes based clustering instead of scannr
                 based in MsClust
April 2014     * Added interface to ExactMassDB, Pep1000, KEGG, KNApSAcK, Flavonoid
                 Viewer, LipidMAPS, HMDB, PubChem, by using the service MFSearcher.
                 This enables users to query multiple public repositories for
                 elemental compositions from accurate mass values detected by
                 high-resolution mass spectrometers. NB: see also added
                 licensing info below.
March 2014     * Added interface to METEXP data store, including tool to fire
                 queries in batch mode
               * Improved quantification output files of MsClust, a.o. sorting
                 mass list based on intensity (last two columns of quantification
                 files)
January 2014   * first release via Tool Shed, combining the RIQC and MsClust in a
                 single package (this package)
               * integration with METEXP software (data store for metabolomics
                 experiments with respective metadata and identifications)
2013           * hand-over of the NIST_UTIL and RIQC tools from the NBIC team to
                 Plant Research International
2012           * development of MsClust 2.0, making it also suitable for Galaxy
<2011          * development and publication of MsClust 1.0

Tool Versioning
===============

PRIMS tools will have versions of the form X.Y.Z. Versions
differing only after the second decimal should be completely
compatible with each other. Breaking changes should result in an
increment of the number before and/or after the first decimal. All
tools of version less than 1.0.0 should be considered beta.


Bug Reports & other questions
=============================

For the time being issues can be reported via the contact form at:

In the MFSearcher system, the compound data provided by KEGG, Flavonoid Viewer, LIPID MAPS, HMDB and PubChem
were downloaded for academic purposes. The compound data of KNApSAcK is provided by Prof. Kanaya in
Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST). The part of these data are utilized to construct the
specified databases for rapid mass searching in the MFSearcher system after re-calculating the molecular weights.
