Limelight is a web-based tool that helps scientists look at and make sense of complex protein data from mass spectrometry machines. Instead of being stuck using one specific software program, it brings all the different data formats together in one place so researchers can easily view and compare their results.

The study confirms that Limelight is a free, web-based tool that lets scientists view and analyze complex mass spectrometry data from any software program without being locked into one specific system. It brings all the data steps together in one place so researchers can easily compare results using the original scoring methods from their chosen software.
