I've got pages and pages of notes from ABRF already and as I'm sitting here trying to organize them I'll probably pull together a few blog posts out of them.
On Sunday Nuno Bandeira talked about MassIVE. Of course, I know about MassIVE. It's one place where you can deposit your RAW data so the journal editors will leave you alone about it.
However -- it's not just sitting there. Busybody bioinformaticians are combing through the data trying to find new things (succeeding) -- and they are compiling huge spectral libraries.
What do you get when you compress the most meaningful data out of 30TB of HCD fragmentation spectra? Other than a file that takes a REALLY long time to download on a hotel WiFi connection? Over 2million annotated spectra.
I may have to give up on downloading it -- or remote login to something on a much faster connection.
Now -- the question remains -- how does this help me? I was hoping that after I had it I could see if I had anything that could open it or use it as an input (MSPepSearch maybe?) ....to be continued....
SPTXT is for spectraST
