Creating and Using (Chemical) Compound Annotation Databases
CompoundDb provides functionality to create and use (chemical) compound annotation databases from a variety of different sources such as LipidMaps, HMDB, ChEBI or MassBank. The database format allows to store in addition MS/MS spectra along with compound information. The package provides also a backend for Bioconductor's Spectra package and allows thus to match experimetal MS/MS spectra against MS/MS spectra in the database. Databases can be stored in SQLite format and are thus portable.
