  • Mass spectrometry data analysis techniques
    Patent number: 6906320
    Abstract: The present invention features mass spectrometry data analysis techniques that can be employed to selectively identify analytes differing in abundance between different sample sets. The employed techniques determine the statistical significance of changes to signals associated with mass-to-charge ratios (“m/z-intensity pairs”) between individual samples and sample sets. Based on the statistical significance, changes likely to indicate analyte level differences are identified. Based on intensities of the signals, ratios of analyte abundances can be determined.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2004
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2005
    Assignee: Merck & Co., Inc.
    Inventors: Jeffrey R. Sachs, Matthew C. Wiener, Nathan A. Yates
