Open Source ASP Data Analytics Tools

Data processing and analysis in proteomic studies is a significant challenge and very time consuming. MS Data Miner (MDM) is a freely available web-based software to analyze, process, validate, compare, and display output files from MS software, including Mascot (Matrix Science), Mascot Distiller (Matrix Science) and ProteinPilot (AB Sciex). It was developed to significantly decrease the data analysis time and to handle large proteomic studies. This open sourced system includes a spectra validation-system and automatically screenshot generation tool for Mascot-assigned spectra. In addition, a GO term analysis function and a tool for generating comparative data-reports are included. The software is described in the following paper: Dyrlund TF, Poulsen ET, Scavenius C, Sanggaard KW, Enghild JJ.
