A library for mass spectrometry projects.
NuGet packages are released here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/mzLib/
GitHub release tags are recoreded here: https://github.com/smith-chem-wisc/mzLib/releases
The mzLib wiki is the usage documentation, and it is kept current. Among other things it covers:
- Reading mass spectrometry files
- Reading search-result formats
- Reading sequence databases
- Chemistry and Mass Spectrometry
- Omics: base foundation, digestion, modifications, fragmentation, decoy generation, proteomics
The package also ships XML documentation, so mzLib types and members have tooltips in your IDE.
Usage examples used to live in this file. They were removed rather than rewritten because they had
drifted out of date - one called a ProteinDatabaseLoader type that no longer exists - and a second
copy of the documentation is a second thing to keep current. The wiki is the single place now.
Tests live in mzLib/Test. Run them with
dotnet test mzLib/Test/Test.csproj --filter "Category!=ExternalService"; the ExternalService
category covers tests that reach live services such as UniProt, and is deliberately kept out of the
required build so that an outage elsewhere cannot fail a pull request.
Code heavily borrowed from https://github.com/dbaileychess/CSMSL and distributed under the appropriate license, LGPL.
mzLib additionally redistributes third-party data files and native libraries whose licences are separate from its own; see THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md.
