Summary:
The Integrated Database of Small Molecules (IDSM) integrates data from small-molecule datasets, making them accessible through the SPARQL query language. Its unique feature is the ability to search for compounds through SPARQL based on their molecular structure. We extended IDSM to enable mass spectra databases to be integrated and searched for based on mass spectrum similarity. As sources of mass spectra, we employed the MassBank of North America database and the In Silico Spectral Database of natural products.
Availability And Implementation:
The extension is an integral part of IDSM, which is available at https://idsm.elixir-czech.cz. The manual and usage examples are available at https://idsm.elixir-czech.cz/docs/ms. The source codes of all IDSM parts are available under open-source licences at https://github.com/idsm-src.
