Introduction
-
PepDistiller is a software designed to validate the peptide identifications obtained from MASCOT search results.
-
The software binary are freely available at http://www.bprc.ac.cn/PepDistiller or https://sourceforge.net/projects/pepdistiller/.
- The package also include a script for calcualting the refined FDR (RefinedSSFDRPercolator.pl).
Installation
- For Windows platform, download the windows executables from the above URL. Note all the files in the directory named "bin" should be placed in the same directory;
- The current version of PepDistiller reads the two MASCOT config files named "enzymes" and "mod_file" from the path "d:/inetpub/mascot/config/", therefore users should place the two files in the above directory.Further version will discard this limitation;
- Download the Percolator binary from http://per-colator.com/, rename the binary file as "percolator.exe", put it in the "bin" directory;
- Enjoy and have fun.
Usage
PepDistiller.exe <dat file> <DecoyTag> <PeakDepth> <Thread> <Peptide length cutoff>
- <dat file>: the absolute path of the MASCOT auto-decoy search dat file;
- <DecoyTag>: a tag indicating the decoy hits, e.g. ###RND### for randomized decoy database. PepDistiller can auto-detect the decoy hits in an auto-decoy search result, thus it doesn't matter for the auto-decoy search results;
- <PeakDepth>: the number of most intense peaks in each 100 m/z bin, recommend 20
- <Thread>: the number of threads to use
- <Peptide length cutoff>: the peptide length cutoff, default: 7
For example: PepDistiller.exe c:\test.dat ###RND### 20 4 7
