WebApps provide user-friendly, web-based access to mass spectrometry data analysis and visualization workflows built using the OpenMS ecosystem. The service enables researchers to process, inspect, and interpret MS-based proteomics, metabolomics, and related omics data directly through interactive browser interfaces, without requiring local software installation or command-line expertise.
The platform is designed to make advanced OpenMS functionality more accessible to life scientists, bioinformaticians, and method developers. It supports interactive data exploration, visual quality control, workflow execution, and result inspection in a reproducible and shareable environment. By combining established OpenMS algorithms with modern web technologies, the WebApps lowers the barrier for applying computational mass spectrometry methods in research, teaching, and collaborative projects.
Typical use cases include interactive visualization of spectra and identifications, exploration of search results, quality control reporting, targeted workflow interfaces, and educational demonstrations. The service can also serve as a template for developing specialized web applications around OpenMS tools and workflows.
Key features:
- Web-based access to OpenMS-powered MS analysis tools
- Interactive visualization and inspection of mass spectrometry data
- No local installation required for end users
- Support for reproducible and shareable analysis sessions
- Extensible framework for building domain-specific MS web applications
- Suitable for research, teaching, and training
Target users:
OpenMS WebApps is intended for experimental scientists, bioinformaticians, software developers, and educators who want accessible, interactive, and reproducible tools for computational mass spectrometry.
