Overview
breathXplorer processes high-resolution breath mass-spectrometry data with feature extraction, alignment and breath-recognition functions. It produces sample-level or aligned feature tables and can export tandem spectra for further annotation.

Scope and considerations
Designed for
- breathXplorer processes high-resolution breath mass-spectrometry data with feature extraction, alignment and breath-recognition functions.
Not designed for
- Automatic clinical interpretation of breath biomarkers or a validated replacement for every LC-MS processing workflow.
Important requirements
- Python 3.7-3.10 with the documented dependencies and mzML or mzXML breath-MS files; configure the expected breath count for methods that require it.
Considerations
- Breath-recognition settings and the selected extraction algorithm affect features and alignment. Review breath segmentation and feature quality before biological interpretation.
