Abstract

Identification evaluation and result dissemination are essential components in mass spectrometry-based proteomics analysis. The visualization of fragment ions in mass spectrum provides strong evidence for peptide identification and modification localization. Here, we present an easy-to-use tool, named GP-Plotter, for ion annotation of tandem mass spectra and corresponding image output. Identification result files of common searching tools in the community and user-customized files are supported as input of GP-Plotter. Multiple display modes and parameter customization can be achieved in GP-Plotter to present annotated spectra of interest. Different image formats, especially vector graphic formats, are available for image generation which is favorable for data publication. Notably, GP-Plotter is also well-suited for the visualization and evaluation of glycopeptide spectrum assignments with comprehensive annotation of glycan fragment ions. With a user-friendly graphical interface, GP-Plotter is expected to be a universal visualization tool for the community. GP-Plotter has been implemented in the latest version of Glyco-Decipher (v1.0.4) and the standalone GP-Plotter software is also freely available at https://github.com/DICP-1809.
