<div class="textblock"><p>The goal of map alignment is to transform different HPLC-MS maps (or derived maps) to a common retention time axis. It corrects for shifted and scaled retention times, which may result from changes of the chromatography.</p>
<p>The different <b>MapAligner</b> tools take <em>n</em> input maps, dewarp them and store the <em>n</em> dewarped maps. The following image shows the general procedure:</p>

</div>
<p>There are different map alignment tools available. The following table gives a rough overview of them:</p>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><b>Application:</b> MapAlignerPoseClustering    <b>Applicable to:</b> feature maps, peak maps </td></tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Description:</b> <br/>
This algorihtm does a star-wise alignment of the input data. The center of the star is the map with most data points. All other maps are then aligned to the center map by estimating a linear transformation (shift and scaling) of retention times. The transformation is estimated using a pose clustering approach as described in doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btm209 </td></tr>
</table>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><b>Application:</b> MapAlignerIdentification    <b>Applicable to:</b> feature maps, consensus maps, identifications </td></tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Description:</b> <br/>
This algorithm utilizes peptide identifications, and is thus applicable to files containing peptide IDs (idXML, annotated featureXML/consensusXML). It finds peptide sequences that different input files have in common and uses them as points of correspondence. From the retention times of these peptides, transformations are computed that convert each file to a consensus time scale. </td></tr>
</table>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><b>Application:</b> MapAlignerSpectrum    <b>Applicable to:</b> peak maps </td></tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Description:</b> <br/>
This <em>experimental</em> algorithm uses a dynamic-programming approach based on spectrum similariy for the alignment. The resulting retention time mapping of dynamic-programming is then smoothed by fitting a spline to the retention time pairs. </td></tr>
</table>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><b>Application:</b> MapRTTransformer    <b>Applicable to:</b> peak maps, feature maps, consensus maps, identifications </td></tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Description:</b> <br/>
This algorithm merely <em>applies</em> a set of transformations that are read from files (in TransformationXML format). These transformations might have been generated by a previous invocation of a MapAligner tool. For example, you might compute a transformation based on identifications and then apply it to the features or raw data. The transformation file format is not very complicated, so it is relatively easy to write (or generate) your own transformation files. </td></tr>
