I recently finished "Everything is Tuberculosis" by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social and wow, he was right. Even my proteomics data is tuberculosis.

This may be an incredibly naive mass spec question, but what's a PSM for DIA data, particularly in Spectronaut? Is it simply referring to a confidently ID'd precursor?

We’ve run into a database search problem that maybe #TeamMassSpec could help with. Due to the massive file size of Astral (and timsTOF) runs, we need to change how we do the MS/MS database search section of our undergrad biochem lab (IP of two different fusion proteins expressed in E. coli).
