### Aerith <img src="./inst/png/logo.png" alt="Aerith" height="30" style="vertical-align: middle;" />
Aerith is an R package that provides interfaces to read and write mass spectrum scans, calculate the theoretical isotopic peak envelope of peptide precursors and their B Y ions, score and visualize the PSM (peptide and spectra match), and visualize the TIC (total ion current) using Rcpp. In Final Fantasy VII, Aerith is the last surviving Cetra or “Ancient” who can communicate with the planet. In stable isotope analysis such as SIP (stable isotope probe), we study Earth or even the universe by analyzing isotopes of elements.

### Read and write Mass spectrum scan
#### Read all scans from FT1 and FT2 file
```{r eval=FALSE}
setwd("rmd")
ft2 <- readAllScanMS2("input data format/ft/Pan_062822_X1iso5.FT2")
ft2 <- getRealScan(10487, ft2)
plot(ft2)
ft1 <- readAllScanMS1("input data format/ft/Pan_062822_X1iso5.FT1")
tic <- getTIC(ft1)
ft1 <- getRealScan(10430, ft1)
plot(ft1)
```
```{r eval=FALSE}
plotTIC(tic)
```
#### Write small demo FT1 FT2 file
```{r eval=FALSE}
header <- readFTheader("input data format/ft/Pan_062822_X1iso5.FT1")
ft1 <- readAllScanMS1("input data format/ft/Pan_062822_X1iso5.FT1")
writeAllScanMS1(header, ft1[1:100], "input data format/demo.FT1")
```
```{r eval=FALSE}
header <- readFTheader("input data format/ft/Pan_062822_X1iso5.FT2")
ft2 <- readAllScanMS2("input data format/ft/Pan_062822_X1iso5.FT2")
writeAllScanMS2(header, ft2[1:100], "input data format/demo.FT2")

#### B Y ions
```{r}
a <- getSipBYionSpectra("KHRIPCDRK", "C13", 0.25, 1:2, 2)
plot(a)
```
### PSM visualization
```{r}

head(anno$ExpectedBYions[anno$ExpectedBYions$residuePositions != -1, ])
residuePos <- anno$ExpectedBYions$residuePositions[anno$ExpectedBYions$matchedIndices != -1]
