## Analysis pipeline for MS-based metabolomics data

### Description

Analysis pipeline for MS-based metabolomics data: basic peak picking and grouping is done using functions from packages xcms and CAMERA. The main output is a table of feature intensities in all samples, which can immediately be analysed with multivariate methdos. The package supports the creation of in-house databases of mass spectra (including retention information) of pure chemical compounds. Such databases can then be used for annotation purposes.

The most important functions for running the pipeline are `runGC` and `runLC` - in-house databases are created by functions `createSTDdbGC` and `createSTDdbLC`.
