TraML

The HUPO PSI Mass Spectrometry Standards Working Group (MSS WG) has developed a specification for a standardized format for the exchange and transmission of transition lists for selected reaction monitoring (SRM) experiments. This specification has now completed rigorous review with the PSI document process and is complete. Please email the list psidev-ms-dev@lists.sourceforge.net with your questions, comments, and suggestions.
