Dataset Summary
Title | AlphaTims: Indexing unprocessed trapped ion mobility spectrometry - time of flight data for fast and easy accession and visualization |
Description | High resolution mass spectrometry-based proteomics generates large amounts of data, even in the standard liquid chromatography (LC) – tandem mass spectrometry configuration. Adding an ion mobility dimension vastly increases the acquired data volume, challenging both analytical processing pipelines and especially data exploration by scientists. This has necessitated data aggregation, effectively discarding much of the information present in these rich data sets. Taking trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) on the quadrupole time of flight platform (Q-TOF) as an example, we developed an efficient indexing scheme that represents all data points as detector arrival times on scales of seconds (LC), milliseconds (TIMS) and microseconds (TOF). In our open source AlphaTims package, data are indexed, accessed and visualized by a combination of tools of the scientific Python ecosystem. We interpret unprocessed data as a sparse 4D matrix and use just in time compilation to machine code with Numba, accelerating our computational procedures by several orders of magnitude while keeping to familiar indexing and slicing notations. For samples with more than six billion detector events a modern laptop can load and index raw data in about a minute. Loading is even faster when AlphaTims has already saved indexed data in a HDF5 file, a portable scientific standard used in extremely large-scale data acquisition. Subsequently, data accession along any dimension and interactive visualization happen in milliseconds. We have found AlphaTims to be a key enabling tool to explore high dimensional LC-TIMS-Q-TOF data and have made it freely available as an open-source Python package with a stand-alone graphical user interface at https://github.com/MannLabs/alphatims or as part of the AlphaPept framework. |
