mzmlripper 1.1.1

Extractor for MS1 and MS2 data from mzML file format

MzML Ripper

This package parses MzML files and extracts data into JSON format for easier processing.

Extracts the following information:

• MS1 Information

• MS2 Information

• MS3 Information

• MS4 Information

• For each spectrum in MS1/2/3/4:

  • Masses and Intensities
  • Parent of that spectrum
  • Retention time of that spectrum
  • List of masses

---

Installation

Mzmlripper is available through Pip (Python Package Index):

pip install mzmlripper --user

Source code will be made available in due course.

Dependencies

If you want to use the (optional) SPectraL hASHing functions (see https://splash.fiehnlab.ucdavis.edu/ for more details), you may want to install pySPLASH with the following commands:

git clone git://github.com/berlinguyinca/spectra-hash.git
cd spectra-hash/python
python setup.py install

---

Usage

Import the extractor and give it a file/directory and an output directory for the JSON files

# Import module
import mzmlripper.extractor as ripper

# Process an mzML file
ripper_data = ripper.process_mzml_file(mzml_filename, target_directory)

# Using the pySPLASH functions
import mzmlripper.splash_helpers as spl

# Add splash to each ripper function
splashed_ripper_data = spl.splash_ripper_dict(ripper_data)

Output

The file output is in the following format:
