Spectrum clustering is a powerful strategy to minimize redundant mass spectral data by grouping highly similar mass spectra corresponding to repeatedly measured analytes. Based on spectrum similarity, near-identical spectra are grouped in clusters, after which each cluster can be represented by its so-called consensus spectrum for downstream processing. Although several algorithms for spectrum clustering have been adequately benchmarked and tested, the influence of the consensus spectrum generation step is rarely evaluated. Here, we present an implementation and benchmark of common consensus spectrum algorithms, including spectrum averaging, spectrum binning, the most similar spectrum, and the best-identified spectrum. We have analyzed diverse public datasets using two different clustering algorithms (spectra-cluster and MaRaCluster) to evaluate how the consensus spectrum generation procedure influences downstream peptide identification. The BEST and BIN methods were found the most reliable methods for consensus spectrum generation, including for datasets with post-translational modifications (PTM) such as phosphorylation.
