MSnbase, efficient and elegant R-based processing and visualisation of raw mass spectrometry data

We present version 2 of the MSnbase R/Bioconductor package. MSnbase provides infrastructure for the manipulation, processing and visualisation of mass spectrometry data. We focus on the new on-disk infrastructure, that allows the handling of large raw mass spectrometry experiment on commodity hardware and illustrate how the package is used for elegant data processing, method development and visualisation.
