TheSAM Formatis a text format for storing sequence data in a series of tab delimited ASCII columns. Most often it is generated as a human readable version of its sister BAM format, which stores the same data in a compressed, indexed, binary form. SAM format files are generated following ma...
The closed nature of vendor file formats in mass spectrometry is a significant barrier to progress in developing robust bioinformatics software. In response, the community has developed the open mzML format, implemented in XML and based on controlled vocabularies. Widely adopted, mzML is an important...
The Sequence Alignment/Map Format Specification (SAM) is one of the most widely adopted file formats in bioinformatics and many researchers use it daily. Several tools, including most high-throughput sequencing read aligners, use it as their primary output and many more tools have been developed ...
These file formats together with the later developed CRAM [2], have been adopted by many bioinformatics software, includ- ing almost all alignment programs [3–6]. Each record in the SAM format has several descriptive fields including alignment coordinates, sequence information, sequence and mapping...
We propose that complementing established open formats such as OME-TIFF and HDF5 with a next-generation file format such as Zarr will satisfy the majority of use cases in bioimaging. Critically, a common metadata format used in all these vessels can deliver truly findable, accessible, ...
It is a significant informatics challenge to select optimum transitions, and it is therefore of great value to share transitions once they have been optimized and successfully used in an experiment (9). The PSI has recently released the Transitions Markup Language (TraML) format (10). TraML ...
biodata === BioData is a Java library that models biological entities and their equivalents in different file formats typically used in bioinformatics. Its aim is to keep applications as agnostic as possible from the file formats they receive as input. This way, analysis can be conducted...
In contrast, con- version produces a permanent copy of the data, again in an open format, bypassing bottlenecks in repeated data access. As workflows and data resources emerge that handle terabytes (TB) to petabytes (PB) of data, the costs of on-the-fly translation have become bottle- ...
NCBI has changed the name of their protein search engine from GenPept to Entrez Protein. However, the function names in the Bioinformatics Toolbox™ software (getgenpeptandgenpeptread) are unchanged representing the still-used GenPept report format. ...
