Will the data of LC-MS be removed

Dear everyone,
       Two sets of data, one metabolite only exists in one of them. In the peak alignment result, will mass spectrum information of the metabolite be preserved?

      Looking forward to your answers.

      All the best.

It depends on your alignment settings.

I suppose, you have these two datasets as groups. If you put 0 to Alignment/N% detected in at least one group, your feature for sure will make it to the list.

Again, how your data are actually organized? # of groups, biological or measurement replicates, etc...

Thank you very much for your help.

How should I set the alignment parameters? Please explain in detail because I have just started to use this software.

Our experiment was divided into two groups (normal group and model group), UPLC-Q/TOF-MS was used to collect data. We want to find out the difference metabolites (the difference in quality, not in quantity) between the two groups through MS-DIAL software.

Do you have biological or measurement replicates for each sample in your group or it is simply X measurements, each from different specimen?

it is simply X measurements, each from different specimen. There are 10 samples in each group

It does not depend on software, it's common issue - what do you want to see as a feature and how robust it should be.

Then i would set Peak count filter to and N% detected in at least one group in initial evaluation to 0%, or better - do chromatogram similarity heatmap in something like R/XCMS, then Peak count to 0 and N% detected to 80%.

Again, you urgently need pooled QC for such investigation.

First of all, thank you Sergey for answering the questions. I was quite..busy on the past one month.

Dear Bei,

especially for natural product researchers (maybe like you), one wanna find "all-or-nothing" metabolite features in the LC-MS/MS data set. MS-DIAL has several filtering functions as Sergey wrote.

"N% detected in at least one group" should be a good filter for your purpose.
Anyway, the below section is informative for your case:
