The aim of the R for Mass Spectrometry initiative (https://www.rformassspectrometry.org/) is to provide efficient, thoroughly documented, tested and flexible R software for the analysis and interpretation of high throughput mass spectrometry assays, including proteomics and metabolomics experiments. The project formalises the longtime collaborative development efforts of its core members under the R for Mass Spectrometry organisation to facilitate dissemination and accessibility of their work.

The R for Mass Spectrometry book introduces participants to the analysis and exploration of mass spectrometry based proteomics data using R and Bioconductor. The book covers all levels of MS data, from raw data to identification and quantitation data, up to the statistical interpretation of a typical shotgun mass spectrometry experiment and will focus on hands-on tutorials.
