readMzTabData {MSnbase} | R Documentation

## Read an 'mzTab' file

### Description

This function can be used to create an `"MSnSet"` by reading and parsing an `mzTab` file. The metadata section is always used to populate the `MSnSet`'s `experimentData()@other$mzTab` slot.

### Usage

    readMzTabData(file, what = c("PRT", "PEP", "PSM"), version = c("1.0",
      "0.9"), verbose = isMSnbaseVerbose())

### Arguments

`file` | A `character` with the `mzTab` file to be read in.
`what` | One of `"PRT"`, `"PEP"` or `"PSM"`, defining which of protein, peptide PSMs section should be returned as an `MSnSet`.
`version` | A `character` defining the format specification version of the mzTab file. Default is `"1.0"`. Version `"0.9"` is available of backwards compatibility. See `readMzTabData_v0.9` for details.
`verbose` | Produce verbose output.

### Value

An instance of class `MSnSet`.
