SIRIUS 4.7.0 Released

by

We are happy to announce that SIRIUS 4.7.0 is now available for download . This release is all about fixing bugs and performance optimization. To all who had problems with the ILP solvers, a freezing GUI, high memory consumption or long running times: This update should make your life way easier. For a full list of changes see the Changelog.

We further integrated the option to compute fragmentation trees only with our heuristic algorithm (no ILP involved) to speedup molecular formula identification for high mass compounds.
Together with applying timeouts on compound level this should make the processing of large datasets much more feasible.

Meet us at ISMB 2019

by

Meet Markus at the ISMB/ECCB 2019 in Basel.

On Tuesday, Markus will give a talk about “SIRIUS 4: turning tandem mass spectra into metabolite structure information”.
There is also a corresponding poster in Session A (J-06) which will be presented on Tuesday 6:00pm-8:00pm.

Our SIRIUS 4 paper is now available at Nature Methods

SIRIUS and CSI:FingerID user meeting?

by

With SIRIUS and CSI:FingerID gathering interest in the community, we are thinking about a SIRIUS and CSI:FingerID user meeting (a SIRIUS user meeting, so to say) in Jena. This would be a 2-3 day come-together with the possibility to show what your are doing with our tools, discuss with the developers, give us feedback on what is SIRIUSly needed etc. We are open to suggestions.

But most importantly: Are you interested in such a meeting? Would you come to Jena for 2-3 days? When would be a good time? (September is the default, but this is usually packed.)

In case you are interested, please let us know. You can leave your comment below, but please also send an email to the SIRIUS email address.


SIRIUS+CSI:FingerID release

by

SIRIUS+CSI:FingerID leaves the alpha state. You can download it here. A few highlights of the new version:

  • Searching your tandem mass spectra in molecular databases using CSI:FingerID
  • Restrict the SIRIUS molecular formula identification to formulas appearing in molecular databases – or search through the whole space of possible formulas. It’s up to you.
  • Sort you identification results by confidence such that more reliable identifications (e.g. from high quality spectra or easy recognizable compounds) are separated from bogus identifications.
  • Predict structural features and substructures from tandem mass spectra and visualize them in your candidate structure list.

Don’t hesitate to give us your feedback, report bugs or suggesting new features. Just write to
