Hi,
This is Preston from CUHK.
I notice that in numerous deconvoluted MS2 spectra processed by TopFD, the assigned precursor ion m/z is inconsistent with that reported by the raw file and the mzml input file.
As a result, the precursor mass assigned to these spectra might be incorrect. In fact, for these spectra, the precursor mass are inconsistent with the precursor mass reported by other algorithms (e.g. Xtract and Thrash). For other spectra with precursor m/z correct assigned, their precursor mass are consistent with the mentioned algorithms. Is it possible that my parameters need to be tweaked a bit to ensure correct m/z assignment?
Examples and parameters described in

Thanks!
Preston
