Self-supervised learning of molecular representations from millions of tandem mass spectra using DreaMS

Flipboard

Characterizing biological and environmental samples at a molecular level primarily uses tandem mass spectroscopy (MS/MS), yet the interpretation of tandem mass spectra from untargeted metabolomics experiments remains a challenge. Existing computational methods for predictions from mass spectra rely on limited spectral libraries and on hard-coded human expertise.
