First release of Spectre

After working for six months by a team of 8 students of the Urecht University (Netherands) dept. of computer science and the Netherlands proteomics centre, the 1.0 version release of Spectre is finished. This will (hopefully) be the kick-off for a open source community to develop and create a freeware tool for analysis of lc-ms(ms) data of multiple experiments. This tool currently allows the visualization of lc-ms(ms) runs via the import of raw files converted to mzXML (download converters for all file formats at: http://sashimi.sf.net\). It compares multiple runs, does peak detection/peak alignment and exports peptide ratio's. Several filters have been implemented.

We are currently setting up a CVS for further development of spectre by a larger community.
Spectre has ben set up as a highly modular program with good documentation making it (rather) easy to add and implement new filters, tools etc. PLEASE JOIN US..
