TimsRust

A crate to read Bruker TimsTof data.

Installation

Add this crate to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
timsrust = "x.x.x"

Usage

TimsRust is intended to be used as a library and not as a stand-alone application. An example of how to use it is found in e.g. Sage.

Basics

Two primary data types are exposed through TimsRust:

• Spectra: A traditional representation that expresses intensitites in function of mz values for a given precursor.
• Frames: All recorded data from a single TIMS elution (i.e. at one specific retention_time).

File formats

Two file formats are supported:

• Bruker .d folder containing:
  • analysis.tdf
  • analysis.tdf_bin
• Bruker .ms2 folder containing:
  • converter.ms2.bin
  • converter.MS2Spectra.ms2.parquet

Python bindings

The timsrust_pyo3 package is an example of how the performance of TimsRust can be utilized in Python
