ms-data-core-api

About

The primary purpose of ms-data-core-api library is to provide commonly used classes and Object Model for Proteomics Experiments. You may also find it useful for your own computational proteomics projects.

Main Features

• Common Object Model for different proteomics experiments, with classes to represent proteins, peptides, psms, psectrums
• DataAccessControllers for mzTab, mzIdentML, PRIDE XML, PRIDE Database, mzML, mzXML, mgf, pkl, apl, ms2, dta files
• Proteomics Standard compleint Data model with classes for Ontologies and User params
• Read different file formats in proteomics in a common Object Model
• Export the current model to mzTab files in for Identification Experiments.

Note: the library is still evolving, we are committed to expand this library and add more useful classes.

How to use ms-data-core-api

Using ms-data-core-api

Reading a mzIdentML file:

This example shows how to read an mzIdentML file and retrieve the information from them:

import uk.ac.ebi.pride.utilities.data.core.*;

//Open an inputFile mzIdentml File using memory 
MzIdentMLControllerImpl mzIdentMlController = new MzIdentMLControllerImpl(inputFile, true);

//Print size of the Sample List
List<Sample> samples = mzIdentMlController.getSamples();
System.out.println(samples.size());

//Print the Id of the first sample
System.out.println(samples.get(0).getId());

// Get the list of softwares from the mzIdentMlController
List<Software> software = mzIdentMlController.getSoftwares();

//Print size of the Software List
System.out.println(software.size());

//Print the Name of the first Software
System.out.println(software.get(0).getName());

//Retrieve the Identification Metadata    
IdentificationMetaData experiment = mzIdentMlController.getIdentificationMetaData();
// test SearchDatabase
List<SearchDataBase> databases = experiment.getSearchDataBases();
        
// test SpectrumIdentificationProtocol
List<SpectrumIdentificationProtocol> spectrumIdentificationProtocol = experiment.getSpectrumIdentificationProtocols();

// Retrieve the Protein Identification Protocol
Protocol proteinDetectionProtocol = experiment.getProteinDetectionProtocol();

//Retrieve all Protein Identifications
List<Comparable> identifications = new ArrayList<Comparable>(mzIdentMlController.getProteinIds());

Reading a PRIDE XML file:

This example shows how to read an PRIDE XML file and retrieve the information from them:

//Open an inputFile mzIdentml File using memory 
PrideXmlControllerImpl prideXMLController = new PrideXmlControllerImpl(inputFile);

// You can use the example above and the same functions to retrieve the data using this controller for example:
//Print size of the Sample List
List<Sample> samples = prideXMLController.getSamples();
System.out.println(samples.size());

Using tools in ms-data-core-api:

File format conversion

Convert from mzIdentML to mzTab

java -jar ms-data-core-api<version>.jar -c -mzid <input.mzid> -outputfile <output.mztab>

Convert from PRIDE XML to mzTab

java -jar ms-data-core-api<version>.jar -c -pridexml <pride.xml> -outputformat <output.mztab>

Convert from annotated mzTab to (sorted, filtered*) proBed

java -jar ms-data-core-api<version>.jar -c -mztab <input.mztab> -chromsizes <chrom.txt> -outputformat probed

Convert from annotated mzIdentML to (sorted, filtered*) proBed

java -jar ms-data-core-api<version>.jar -c -mzid <input.mztab> -chromsizes <chrom.txt> -outputformat probed

Convert from (sorted, filtered*) proBed to bigBed

java -jar ms-data-core-api<version>.jar -c -mztab <input.pro.bed> -chromsizes <chrom.txt> -asqlfile <aSQL.as> -bigbedconverter <bedToBigBed>

File Validation

MzIdentML validation

java -jar ms-data-core-api<version>.jar -v -mzid <sample.mzid> -peak <spectra.mgf> -skipserialization -reportfile <outputReport.txt>

MzTab validation
