 M²ara is based on the R package [MALDIcellassay](https://github.com/CeMOS-Mannheim/MALDIcellassay) (published in [Unger et. al. 2021](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41596-021-00624-z), Nature Protocols) and extends its capabilities with a GUI and adds helpful features like clustering of curves, PCA analysis as well as the Curve Response Score (CRS) which enables fast screening for molecules regulated by drug treatment.
