Regarding bruker .tsf files #25

Open douweschulte opened 3 weeks ago

douweschulte commented 3 weeks ago

Our machines produce Bruker .tsf raw files. I have very little experience with Bruker data file formats but how feasible is support for .tsf files within the current timsrust?

Hi @douweschulte, thanks for checking in! At the moment .tsf is not supported, but I am not against having support for it in TimsRust. It might be relatively straightforward (as a concept) to implement it (haven't touched that format myself yet and only have secondhand knowledge on it), but one would need the time to do so of course. I'll leave this issue open for others to comment/request/implement/... and hope to get back to it "someday", which unfortunately might be months if not much longer...

Side note, it should just be data without ion mobility dimension and it should be supported with Bruker's closed source SDK and thus most software suits that use this SDK, such as Timsconvert

Thanks for the insight. I found timsconvert and it indeed seems to produce nice mzml files which I should be able to use. As a bit of background I was thinking of making my rust crate rustyms support timstof data. This to support some colleagues that want to use my annotator with timstof data directly.
