mzML - a Community Standard for Mass Spectrometry Data

摘要: Mass spectrometry is a fundamental tool for discovery and analysis in the life sciences. With rapid advances mass technology methods, it has become imperative to provide standard output format data that will facilitate sharing analysis. Initially, efforts develop resulted multiple formats, each designed with different underlying philosophy. To resolve issues associated having vendors, researchers, software developers convened under banner of HUPO PSI single standard. The new incorporated many desirable technical attributes from previous while adding number improvements, including features such as controlled vocabulary validation tools ensure consistent usage format, improved support selected reaction monitoring data, immediately available implementations adoption by community. resulting mzML, well tested open-source spectrometer files can be readily utilized community easily adapted incremental technology.
