GNPS2 Platform Announcement

[Mingxun Wang]

Hi GNPS community,

I hope you all are doing well. I want to thank the entire community for their support throughout the years to have built and contributed to such a vibrant platform. 

Over the past two years at my new PI position at UC Riverside, we have been building the next generation set of tools for online analysis - GNPS2. We're still in the development stages but I am very excited to have a slightly broader community use it and give us feedback. 

Here is what you can expect from GNPS2:

1. Popular GNPS1 workflows (including Classical and Feature Based Molecular Networking)

2. New computational tools developed by my lab and from the community (e.g. ModiFinder - https://doi.org/10.1021/jasms.4c00061)

3. Offline workflows that can be run on your own systems independent of GNPS2

4. Online Integrative Analyses/Visualization including molecular networking, LC/MS Dashboard, Metabolomics USI spectrum plotting, and many more

5. Easy Analysis Sharing 

As this platform is definitely evolving - please stay tuned new releases and updates that happen approximately weekly.
