Communicating Mass Spectrometry Quality Information in mzQC with Python, R, and Java.

ABSTRACT: Mass spectrometry is a powerful technique for analyzing molecules in complex biological samples. However, inter- and intralaboratory variability and bias can affect the data due to various factors, including sample handling and preparation, instrument calibration and performance, and data acquisition and processing. To address this issue, the Quality Control (QC) working group of the Human Proteome Organization's Proteomics Standards Initiative has established the standard mzQC file format for reporting and exchanging information relating to data quality. mzQC is based on the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format and provides a lightweight yet versatile file format that can be easily implemented in software. Here, we present open-source software libraries to process mzQC data in three p
