IN SHORT: This paper addresses the critical bottleneck in metabolite identification: the generation of high-quality negative training samples that are structurally similar to true metabolites, which is essential for training robust machine learning classifiers.
核心创新
- Methodology Introduces a novel latent-space approach where metabolite structures and MS/MS spectra are encoded into numerical vectors using autoencoders, transforming metabolite-spectrum matching into vector matching.
- Methodology Proposes a GAN framework specifically designed to generate challenging decoy metabolite latent vectors conditioned on spectrum latent vectors, creating more informative negative training samples.
- Methodology Demonstrates that adversarial training (GAN-9) significantly improves classifier stability, reducing standard deviation of accuracy across datasets from 0.3286 (GAN-0) to 0.1618 while increasing mean accuracy.
主要结论
- MS2MetGAN achieves superior overall performance with mean accuracy of 76.33% against MetaCyc database and 79.35% against isomer decoys, outperforming 8 baseline tools including MIDAS (69.21%), SF-Matching (65.79%), and CSI:FingerID (49.66%).
- The GAN training procedure improves performance stability across diverse test datasets, reducing standard deviation of accuracy from 0.3286 (GAN-0) to 0.1618 (GAN-9) for MetaCyc searches and from 0.3122 to 0.1663 for isomer decoy searches.
- MS2MetGAN demonstrates strong transferability, outperforming baseline tools on 66.67%-100% of test datasets in pairwise comparisons, with particularly strong performance against isomer decoys where it beats all baselines on 77.78%-100% of datasets.
摘要: Database search is a widely used approach for identifying metabolites from tandem mass spectra (MS/MS). In this strategy, an experimental spectrum is matched against a user-specified database of candidate metabolites, and candidates are ranked such that true metabolite–spectrum matches receive the highest scores. Machine-learning methods have been widely incorporated into database-search–based identification tools and have substantially improved performance. To further improve identification accuracy, we propose a new framework for generating negative training samples. The framework first uses autoencoders to learn latent representations of metabolite structures and MS/MS spectra, thereby recasting metabolite–spectrum matching as matching between latent vectors. It then uses a GAN to generate latent vectors of decoy metabolites and constructs decoy metabolite–spectrum matches as negative samples for training. Experimental results show that our tool, MS2MetGAN, achieves better overall performance than existing metabolite identification methods.
