mspire

mspire - ‘Mass Spectrometry Proteomics in Ruby’ is a collection of tools for working with MS proteomics data in ruby. It seeks to provide support for open standards (e.g., parsers for mzData, mzXML, Peptide/Protein Prophet and the TPP) and contribute other useful functionality for working with mass spectrometry data in ruby.

Current Focus

---

The project is currently focusing on the following:

• SEQUEST data (particularly the output of Bioworks 3.2)

• mzXML

• mzData

• ProteinProphet

• Preparation of files for [obiwarp](obi-warp.sourceforge.net/)

Tutorials

---

• [Database Searching Tutorial](tutorial/database_searching/index.html) -

Demonstrates two methods for running and analysing Bioworks output to obtain false positive rates using mspire executables.

Warning

---

This is an experimental package. As such, all versions prior to version 1.0 will only loosely follow the rubygems versioning scheme: interfaces are subject to change without a major change in version number prior to version 1.0. Beyond version 1.0, the versioning scheme will be strictly adhered to.
