LC-MS (Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry) is a powerful technique used for many applications in life sciences. The software landscape for analyzing LC-MS data is fragmented, and most existing software solutions either are closed black box solutions or require professional programming skills. With eMZed we provide an open-source framework to establish transparent and flexible workflows for high-end data treatment that requires only basic programming skills of the user. To this end, we combined the Python, a comprehensive library of elementary building blocks, and an integrated development environment.
