Abstract

Protein and peptide identification and quantitation are essential tasks in proteomics research and involve a series of steps in analyzing mass spectrometry data. Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) provides a wide range of useful tools through its web interfaces for analyses such as sequence database search, statistical validation, and quantitation. To utilize the powerful functionality of TPP without the need for manual intervention to launch each step, we developed a software tool, called WinProphet, to create and automatically execute a pipeline for proteomic analyses. It seamlessly integrates with TPP and other external command-line programs, supporting various functionalities, including database search for protein and peptide identification, spectral library construction and search, data-independent acquisition (DIA) data analysis, andisobaric labeling and label-free quantitation. WinProphet is a standalone, installation-free tool with graphical interfaces for users to configure, manage, and automatically execute pipelines. The constructed pipelines can be exported as XML files with all of the parameter settings for reusability and portability. The executable files, user manual, and sample data sets of WinProphet are freely available at http://ms.iis.sinica.edu.tw/COmics/Software_WinProphet.html .
