Information about the package, percolator, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The percolator package is designed for, Software for postprocessing of shotgun proteomics data.
Package Name:
percolator
Summary:
Software for postprocessing of shotgun proteomics data
Description:
The first step in analyzing an mass spectrometry assay is to match the harvested spectra against a target database using database search engines such as Sequest and Mascot, a process that renders list of peptide-spectrum matches. However, it is not trivial to assess the accuracy of these identifications. Percolator uses a semi-supervised machine learning to discriminate correct from incorrect peptide-spectrum matches, and calculates accurate statistics such as q-value (FDR) and posterior error probabilities.
