Abstract: | Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry is a powerful tool to analyze complex samples. For application of the technique in studies like biomarker discovery in which large sets of complex samples have to be analyzed, extensive preprocessing is needed to align the data obtained in several injections (analyses). We developed new alignment and clustering algorithms for this type of data. New in the current procedures is the consistent way in which the phenomenon referred to as wrap-around is treated. The data analysis problems associated with this phenomenon are solved by treating the 2D display as the surface of a three-dimensional cylinder. Based on this transformation we developed a new similarity metric for features as a function of both the cylindrical distance (reflecting similarity in chromatographic behavior) and of the mass spectral correlation (reflecting similarity in chemical structure). The concepts are used in warping and clustering, and include a protection against greedy warping. |
