The OpenMS Training & Open House provides a practical introduction to open-source computational mass spectrometry using the OpenMS ecosystem. Participants will learn how to analyze proteomics and metabolomics data with OpenMS, pyOpenMS, and related tools, and will have the opportunity to discuss their own data and workflows with developers and experienced users.
Through short tutorials, poster sessions, and informal discussions, participants will:
- Gain an overview of computational mass spectrometry workflows in OpenMS
- Learn how to use pyOpenMS for scripting and automation
- Explore pyOpenMS_viz for quick visualization of mass spectrometry data
- Get hands-on with OpenMS WebApps for web-based data analysis
- Learn about library-free DIA analysis with OpenSWATH and DIAWeaver
- Discuss quantification and data integration with QuantMS
- Receive feedback on their own datasets, ideas, or analysis challenges
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of proteomics or metabolomics workflows is helpful, but not required. No prior programming experience is necessary.
Audience:
Researchers, students, and developers interested in learning how to use OpenMS and pyOpenMS for computational mass spectrometry data analysis.
Learning goals:
- Understanding the OpenMS ecosystem and its core tools
- Performing basic and advanced analyses using pyOpenMS and OpenMS WebApps
- Applying library-free DIA methods with OpenSWATH and DIAWeaver
- Engaging with the OpenMS community and learning how to contribute
