mzTab Specifications

mzTab is one of the standards developed by members of the Proteomics Informatics working group of the PSI.
mzTab-M is a separate standard for Metabolomics and small molecules developed by members of the Proteomics Informatics working group of the PSI and the Data Standards Task Group of the Metabolomics Society.

mzML 1.1.0 Specification

History

From 2005-2008 there existed two separate XML formats for encoding raw spectrometer output: mzData developed by the PSI and mzXML developed at the Seattle Proteome Center at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB). It was recognized that the existence of two separate formats for essentially the same thing generated confusion and required extra programming effort. Therefore the PSI, with full participation by ISB, developed a new format called mzML by taking the best aspects of each of the precursor formats to form a single one.

mzIdentML

mzIdentML is one of the standards developed by the Proteomics Informatics working group of the PSI.

TraML 1.0.0 Specification

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.
