Hi everyone,

I'm currently encountering a perplexing issue while running the GNPS Classical Molecular Networking and FBMN workflows. Several years ago, when I ran a Classical Molecular Networking workflow (using an .mgf mass spectrometry data file), it matched and annotated over 350 compounds. However, now when I rerun the same .mgf data file with identical parameters, it only matches around 50 compounds. I have attempted this multiple times, but the results consistently show very few annotated compounds.

Workflow from several years ago:

Current workflow:

I would really recommend GNPS2 from now on.
