Pymzid

Reads in mzid files from protein identification results in mass spectrometry/proteomics experiments

Installation and Usage

Install Python 3.7+ and pip. See instructions on Python website for specific instructions for your operating system.

Pymzid can be installed from PyPI via pip. We recommend using a virtual environment.

$ pip install pymzid

Launch as a standalone:

$ python -m pymzid path/to/mzid -o path/to/out

Alternatively:

$ pymzid

Use as a module:

from pymzid.read_mzid import Mzid

mzid = Mzid("path/to/mzid")
mzid.read_psm()

gives a pandas object under mzid.psm_df

To test that the installation can load test data files in tests/data:

$ pip install tox
$ tox

To run the test Percolator data and print the output to home:

$ python -m pymzid tests/data/comet_percolator/percolator.target.mzid -o ~  

Dependencies

Pymzid is tested in Python 3.7 and 3.8 and uses the following packages:

pandas==1.0.4
tqdm==4.46.1
