Analysing clustering results

The spectra-cluster toolsuite uses the .clustering file format to store MS/MS clustering results.

The spectra-cluster toolsuite contains a collection of tools that are able to process this format:

The clustering-file-converter can extract consensus spectra in a variety for formats. Most importantly it also supports the MSP format and can thereby be used to create spectral libraries from clustering results.

The `spectra-cluster-py`_ project contains a collection of tools to analyse clustering results. A detailed descritption of all the available tools can be found at https://spectra-cluster-py.readthedocs.io

Note

The `Proteome Discoverer Node`_ can directly export the clustering results in a standard results table that can subsequently be easily loaded into R or MS Excel.
