Liquid chromatography coupled with multistage accurate mass spectrometry (LC-MSn) can generate comprehensive spectral information of metabolites in crude extracts. To support structural characterization of the many metabolites present in such complex samples, we present a novel method (http://www.emetabolomics.org/magma) to automatically process and annotate the LC-MSn data sets on the basis of candidate molecules from chemical databases, such as PubChem or the Human Metabolite Database. Multistage MSn spectral data is automatically annotated with hierarchical trees of in silico generated substructures of candidate molecules to explain the observed fragment ions and alternative candidates are ranked on the basis of the calculated matching score. We tested this method on an untargeted LC-MSn (n
