PTXQC (version 1.0.4)

RTalignmentTree: Return a tree plot with a possible alignment tree.

Description

This allows the user to judge which Raw files have similar corrected RT's (i.e. where aligned successfully). If there are clear sub-clusters, it might be worth introducing artifical fractions into MaxQuant, to avoid ID-transfer between these clusters (use the MBR-Align and MBR-ID-Transfer metrics to support the decision).

Usage

RTalignmentTree(df_evd, col_fraction = c())

Arguments

df_evd

Evidence table containing calibrated retention times and sequence information.

col_fraction

Empty vector or 1-values vector giving the name of the fraction column (if existing)

Value

ggplot object containing the correlation tree

Details

If the input contains fractions, leaf nodes will be colored accordingly. Distinct sub-clusters should have their own color. If not, MaxQuant's fraction settings should be optimized. Note that introducing fractions in MaxQuant will naturally lead to a clustering here (it's somewhat circular).
