mzMLmzIdentML

mzMLmzIdentML is a data format used in mass spectrometry-based proteomics. It is an XML-based format that combines the mzML and mzIdentML standards. mzML is used for storing raw mass spectrometry data, including mass spectra and chromatograms, while mzIdentML is used for storing identification results from proteomics experiments. By combining these two standards, mzMLmzIdentML allows for the comprehensive storage and exchange of mass spectrometry data and identification results. This format is widely used in the proteomics community for data sharing and analysis. It supports various types of mass spectrometry data, including LC-MS/MS, MALDI-MS, and SELDI-TOF-MS. The format is designed to be flexible and extensible, allowing for the inclusion of additional metadata and custom data types. mzMLmzIdentML is supported by various software tools and libraries, making it a valuable resource for proteomics researchers. The format is maintained by the HUPO-PSI (Human Proteome Organization - Proteomics Standards Initiative) and is available as an open standard.
