(or another feature grouping algorithm)

In feature detection algorithms, an early step is generally to identify points of interest in the LC-MS map (so-called seeds) that may later be extended to features. If supported by the feature detection algorithm (currently only the "centroided" algorithm), user-supplied seed lists allow greater control over this process.

The SeedListGenerator can automatically create seed lists from a variety of sources. The lists are exported in featureXML format - suitable as input to FeatureFinder -, but can be converted to or from text formats using the TextExporter (with "-minimal" option to convert to CSV) and FileConverter (to convert from CSV) tools.

What are possible use cases for custom seed lists?

The command line parameters of this tool are:
