A method for preparing peptide spectra for identification, the method including constructing a symmetric distance matrix from a plurality of peptide spectra, where a cluster of at least one of the spectra is represented in a row of the matrix, and where the cluster is also represented in a column of the matrix, finding the minimum of each of the clusters in the matrix, constructing a vector from the minima where each element in the vector corresponds to one of the clusters, finding the global minimum of the matrix as being the minimum of the vector, merging two of the clusters identified by the global minimum into a merged cluster, and providing the merged cluster for identification of at least one peptide associated with the merged cluster.
