Potential for adding mzml and mgf? #45

Closed tshauck closed 3 years ago

tshauck commented 3 years ago

Hi... very excited to see this library! I've developed a couple tangentially related packages, though noodles is much better developed.

In particular there's one that does mgf and mzml. These are used in metabolomics/proteomics for storing mass spec data. Are you accepting format contributions? / Would mgf and mzml be a good fit (i.e. a noodles-mgf)?

The goal of this package is to have have functions for reserializing to a different format (e.g. mgf to jsonl), so there's a CLI component and a lib component. It's annoying to comingle them, so seeing noodles I thought I'd see what you thought (or at least we can commiserate about bioinformatic formats 😄).

Hi, @tshauck, sorry for the delayed response.

I'd like to focus more on HTS-related formats right now. Thanks for posing the question though.

or at least we can commiserate about bioinformatic formats 😄
