Abstract [en]

Here, we introduce Met-ID, a graphical user interface software designed to efficiently identify metabolites from MALDI-MSI data sets. Met-ID enables annotation of m/z features from any type of MALDI-MSI experiment, involving either derivatizing or conventional matrices. It utilizes structural information for derivatizing matrices to generate a subset of targets that contain only functional groups specific to the derivatization agent. The software is able to identify multiple derivatization sites on the same molecule, facilitating identification of the derivatized compound. This ability is exemplified by FMP-10, a reactive matrix that assists the covalent charge-tagging of molecules containing phenolic hydroxyl and/or primary or secondary amine groups. Met-ID also permits users to recalibrate data with known m/z ratios, boosting confidence in mass match results. Furthermore, Met-ID includes a database featuring MS2 spectra of numerous chemical standards, consisting of neurotransmitters and metabolites derivatized with FMP-10, alongside peaks for FMP-10 itself, all accessible directly through the software. The MS2 spectral database supports user-uploaded spectra and enables comparison of these spectra with user-provided tissue MS2 spectra for similarity assessment. Although initially installed with basic data, Met-ID is designed to be customizable, encouraging users to tailor the software to their specific needs. While several MSI-oriented software solutions exist, Met-ID combines both MS1 and MS2 functionalities. Developed in alignment with the FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific software, Met-ID is freely available as an open-source tool on GitHub, ensuring wide accessibility and collaboration.
