- Mass spectrometry data formats
Here the main
mass spectrometry data formats are listed.mzXML
mzXML is a
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) based common file format forproteomics mass spectrometric data.cite journal |author=Pedrioli PG, Eng JK, Hubley R, Vogelzang M, Deutsch EW, Raught B, Pratt B, Nilsson E, Angeletti RH, Apweiler R, Cheung K, Costello CE, Hermjakob H, Huang S, Julian RK, Kapp E, McComb ME, Oliver SG, Omenn G, Paton NW, Simpson R, Smith R, Taylor CF, Zhu W, Aebersold R |title=A common open representation of mass spectrometry data and its application to proteomics research |journal=Nat. Biotechnol. |volume=22 |issue=11 |pages=1459–66 |year=2004 |pmid=15529173 |doi=10.1038/nbt1031] cite journal |author=Lin SM, Zhu L, Winter AQ, Sasinowski M, Kibbe WA |title=What is mzXML good for? |journal=Expert review of proteomics |volume=2 |issue=6 |pages=839–45 |year=2005 |pmid=17342793 |doi=] Mostmass spectrometer s do not directly produce mzXML data, but there are several tools available that generate mzXML files from native acquisition files. An open source project known as Sashimi [ cite web|url=http://sashimi.sourceforge.net |title=Sashimi |accessdate=2007-10-11 ] offers a collection of converter programs for some common mass spectrometric file formats. Currently there are converters available at Sashimi forThermoFinnigan (Xcalibur format using ReAdW),Micromass (MassLynx format using MassWolf) andSCIEX /ABI (SCIEX/ABI Analyst using mzStar).Bruker 's free CompassXport tool will nicely generate mzXML (and now mzData) files for many of their native file formats.mzData
The
Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) has developed a common file format called mzData which offers similar functionality to mzXML.cite journal |author=Orchard S, Montechi-Palazzi L, Deutsch EW, Binz PA, Jones AR, Paton N, Pizarro A, Creasy DM, Wojcik J, Hermjakob H |title=Five years of progress in the Standardization of Proteomics Data 4(th) Annual Spring Workshop of the HUPO-Proteomics Standards Initiative April 23-25, 2007 Ecole Nationale Supérieure (ENS), Lyon, France |journal=Proteomics |volume=7 |issue=19 |pages=3436–40 |year=2007 |pmid=17907277 |doi=10.1002/pmic.200700658]mzML
The existence of the two above standard formats for proteomics data is an undesirable state. Thus, mzData and mzXML developers are currently developing the joint format called mzML. [ cite web|url=http://www.psidev.info/index.php?q=node/257 |title=mzML |accessdate=2007-10-11 ] As of 2008-06-01, mzML 1.0.0 is ready. This format was officially released at the 2008
American Society for Mass Spectrometry Meeting [cite web|url=http://www.psidev.info/index.php?q=node/257 |title=mzML |accessdate=2008-06-30] . For details of the current status of mzML support see the [http://www.psidev.info/index.php?q=node/257 HUPO-PSI ] Project page.Viewers
