MSstatsBig is designed to overcome challenges when analyzing very large mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics experiments. These experiments are generally (but not always) acquired with DIA and include a large number of MS runs. MSstatsBig leverages software that can work on datasets without loading them into memory. This avoids a major problem where a dataset cannot be loaded into a standard computers RAM.
MSstatsBig includes functions which are designed to replace the converters included in the MSstats package. The goal of these converters is to perform filtering on the PSM files of identified and quantified data to remove data that is not required for differential analysis. Once this data is filtered down it should be able to be loaded into your computer’s memory. After the converters are run, the standard MSstats workflow can be followed.
MSstatsBig currently includes converters for Spectronaut and FragPipe. Beyond these converters, users can manually use the underlying functions by putting their data into MSstats format and running the underlying MSstatsPreprocessBig function. This way, either by using native export format of signal processing tools or by converting raw data chunk by chunk (for example with the readr::read_delim_chunked function), MSstatsBig can be used with other popular tools such as DIA-NN.
The dataset included in this package is a small subset of a work by Clark et al. [1]. It is a large DIA dataset that includes over 100 runs. The experimental data was identified and quantified by FragPipe and the included dataset is the msstats.csv output for FragPipe.

Once then, you can read the data from text file or load the arrow data.frame into memory by using the dplyr::collect function. The “collected” data can then be treated as a standard R data.frame.
setwd(tempdir())
converted_data = bigFragPipetoMSstatsFormat(
system.file("extdata", "fgexample.csv", package = "MSstatsBig"),
"output_file.csv",
backend="arrow",
max_feature_count = 20)
# The returned arrow object needs to be collected for the remaining workflow
converted_data = as.data.frame(dplyr::collect(converted_data))Once the converter is run the standard MSstats workflow can be followed:
dataProcess function summarizes peptide-level data into protein-level estimates.groupComparison function fits a linear model to protein-level data and performs statistical inference for comparisons of selected groups.Details of the MSstats workflow can be found in [2].
