Hi Harry, I'd like to introduce the software I have been working on for the past year, Skyline, for both building MRM methods and analyzing the results. It is freely available at:
http://proteome.gs.washington.edu/software/skyline And I am working on making it open source as part of the ProteoWizard project. It imports several formats directly, without needing conversion, and its customizable reports (through File / Export / Report) allow you to export rich tabular data to CSV for further analysis in Excel or other statistical package, such as R. I have created several instructional videos on the site to give you a feel of what is possible, and how to achieve what you want. The site also has a support board, if you decide to use it and need further help. Good luck with your MRM analysis. --Brendan On Aug 6, 8:54 pm, Jimmy Eng <[email protected]> wrote: > Harry, > > I made a modification to readmzXML for you that hopefully gets you the > data in the format you want.
