MGFp: An open Mascot Generic Format (MGF) parser library implementation Kirchner M, Steen JAJ, Hamprecht FA, Steen H MGFp: An open Mascot Generic Format (MGF) parser library implementation Submitted to the Journal of Proteome Research (JPR). MGFp implements a formal grammar based on the MGF format description using the bison/flex parser generators. It provides an efficient, intuitive C++ library interface, which can easily be integrated into existing C++ projects, adapted to managed code environments (e.g. .NET) or bridged to scripting languages such as Python or R. The library is portable and has been tested on Linux, MacOS and MS Windows platforms. [ MGFp sourceforge.net project page ]
