xiView: A common platform for the downstream analysis of Crosslinking Mass Spectrometry data

Abstract

xiView provides a common platform for the downstream analysis and visualisation of Crosslinking Mass Spectrometry data. It is independent of the search software used and its input is compliant with the relevant mass spectrometry data standards. It uses established visualisation techniques, notably Multiple Coordinated Views, to help the user explore the data and is designed to facilitate comparisons between different datasets.
