Herein we introduce the Visual Mass-Spec Share (vMS-Share), a new public mass spectrometric (MS) repository and data mining website/resource freely accessible at https://vmsshare.nist.gov. vMS-Share is a webbased application developed for instant visualization of raw MS data with integrated display of metadata optimized for the sharing of proteomics and metabolomics experimental results. Each MS-based identification is linked to a given experiment and the entire experimental data can then be viewed using the link associated with a given peptide and/or small molecule. Interactive and user-friendly visualizations are provided to the user via variety of easily accessible search filters.
