Dear fellow mzMine users,

We have discovered a subtle problem with using the Gap-Fill function for 
aligned peak lists.

The average mass is calculated after gap-filling and this appears to often be 
different than the true exact mass, presumably due to gap filled peaks with 
slightly different mass to the found peaks. The consequence of this is that 
searching our custom exact-mass library may miss metabolites.

We have now changed to doing the identification step before any gap-filling, 
resulting in many more correctly identified peaks.

Cheers,

Mark
