SIRIUS 4: a rapid tool for turning tandem mass spectra into metabolite structure information

Mass spectrometry is a predominant experimental technique in metabolomics and related fields, but metabolite structural elucidation remains highly challenging. We report SIRIUS 4 (https://bio.informatik.uni-jena.de/sirius/), which provides a fast computational approach for molecular structure identification. SIRIUS 4 integrates CSI:FingerID for searching in molecular structure databases. Using SIRIUS 4, we achieved identification rates of more than 70% on challenging metabolomics datasets.
