چکیده

MOTIVATION Effective use of proteomics data, specifically mass spectrometry data, relies on the ability to read and write the many mass spectrometer file formats. Even with mass spectrometer vendor-specific libraries and vendor-neutral file formats, such as mzXML and mzData it can be difficult to extract raw data files in a form suitable for batch processing and basic research. Introduced here are the ProteomeCommons.org Input and Output Framework, abbreviated to IO Framework, which is designed to abstractly represent mass spectrometry data. This project is a public, open-source, free-to-use framework that supports most of the mass spectrometry data formats, including current formats, legacy formats and proprietary formats that require a vendor-specific library in order to operate. The IO Framework includes an on-line tool for non-programmers and a set of libraries that developers may use to convert between various proteomics file formats. AVAILABILITY The current source-code and documentation for the ProteomeCommons.org IO Framework is freely available at http://www.proteomecommons.org/current/531/

Sequential File Programming Patterns and Performance with .NET

Programming patterns for sequential file access in the .NET Framework are described and the performance is measured. The default behavior provides excellent performance on a single disk – 50 MBps both reading and writing. Using large request sizes and doing file pre-allocation when possible have quantifiable benefits. When one considers disk arrays, .NET unbuffered IO delivers 800 MBps on a 16-...

ProteomeCommons.org JAF: reference information and tools for proteomics

SUMMARY Analysis of proteomics data, specifically mass spectrometry data, commonly relies on libraries of known information such as atomic masses, known stable isotopes, atomic compositions of amino acids, observed modifications of known amino acids and ion masses that directly correspond to known amino acid sequences. The Java Analysis Framework (JAF) for proteomics provides a freely usable, o...
