## LOBSTAHS default databases and database generation parameters

### Description

Default databases (in `default.LOBdbase`), and the .RData files containing default ranges of structural properties used by `generateLOBdbase` to generate these databases.

Note that the format of these files has changed in LOBSTAHS version 1.1.2 and greater.

Also described is `default.rt.windows`, which contains the default retention time windows (by lipid class) used by `doLOBscreen` when `rt.restrict = TRUE`.

### Usage

    data(default.LOBdbase)
    data(default.adductHierarchies)
    data(default.acylRanges)
    data(default.oxyRanges)
    data(default.componentCompTable)
    data(default.rt.windows)

### Format

`default.LOBdbase`

  A list of two `"LOBdbase"` objects, which are the default LOBSTAHS databases for positive and negative ion mode species, respectively. These were generated using `generateLOBdbase` with the default values defined in `default.adductHierarchies`, `default.acylRanges`, `default.oxyRanges`, and `default.componentCompTable`.

`default.adductHierarchies`

  A data frame containing empirically-determined adduct ion hierarchy data, by lipid class.

`default.acylRanges`

  A data frame containing ranges of numbers of acyl carbon atoms for which in silico data are generated for each lipid class by `generateLOBdbase`.

`default.oxyRanges`

  A data frame containing ranges of additional oxygen atoms to be considered on species of each lipid class when databases are generated with `generateLOBdbase`.

`default.componentCompTable`

  A data frame that defines the elemental compositions of the various adducts, parent lipid "backbones," and pigments that are used by `generateLOBdbase`.

`default.rt.windows`

  A data frame containing the default retention time data for various lipids and parent lipid classes that are used by `doLOBscreen` when `rt.restrict = TRUE`. These retention time windows are specific to the HPLC-MS method currently used in the Van Mooy Lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where LOBSTAHS was developed. As described in `doLOBscreen`, users outside the Van Mooy Lab should supply their own retention time data.

### Details

Empirical determination of the retention time window data in `default.rt.windows` and adduct ion hierarchies in `default.adductHierarchies` are described in the references below.

The default ranges for the structural properties given in the other files were chosen to yield databases that encompass a broad variety of moieites across lipid types. Microsoft Excel spreadsheet templates are included with the package in Resources/library/LOBSTAHS/doc for users wishing to modify any of the default data inputs. Alternatively, the spreadsheet files may be downloaded from a directory embedded within the package. These templates can be used to generate .csv files in formats appropriate for `generateLOBdbase` and `doLOBscreen`.

### Value

Various list and data.frame objects (as indicated above).
