title: 'MsBackendParquet: Apache Parquet-based Mass Spectrometry Data Backend'
version: 0.99.9
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.MsBackendParquet
abstract: Mass spectrometry (MS) data backend for the Spectra Bioconductor package
  that stores and retrieves spectra and peak data from on-disk Apache Parquet datasets.
  Spectra metadata together with m/z and intensity values are stored in a columnar
  Parquet format that supports compression, dictionary encoding and Hive-style partitioning.
  Datasets are written with the Apache Arrow R bindings and queried with DuckDB. Spectra
  variables are held in a bounded in-memory index so that filtering and metadata access
  are fast while peak data remains on disk.
