  • Comparison results of the above dataset by our compound based alignment method ( according to the deduced compound molecular amss and estimated compound retention time)throughMET-COFEA+MET-XAlign and chromatographic peak based alignment method throughMZmine+RANSAC. MET-COFEA+MET-XAlign can align the 4 (+)ESI files, 4 (-)ESI files, and all of the 8 files. However MZmine+RANSAC conceptually only can align 4 (+)ESI files or 4 (-)ESI files.
  • A real application of MET-COFEA+MET-XAlign in comparative metabolomics study for medicago truncatula Leaf, Root and Leaf+Root at different ecotypes.
