"Single-cell proteomics with Tesorai Search:

29% more unique peptides in NanoPOTS*
37% higher MS2 ID rate in DISCO

Vs. FragPipe, one-cell conditions, 1% FDR, MBR off.
*Pooled across 10 runs.

Our new application note covers the benchmarks and browser workflow.

I had a great time visiting the University of Michigan yesterday and giving a talk with a very good discussion afterwards.

It was amazing to re-connect with Alexey Nesvizhskii and Fengchao Yu and discuss all the cool new applications that are possible in MS-based proteomics using FragPipe.

Authors published a paper in Biorxiv, they used Fragpipe in the study. Including #RRIDs will make this less ambiguous.

SciScore made a table with this resource, see “Automated Services” module (download as csv, xml or #jats) #RRID #OpenScience

Expectations in de novo search field:
1. Cascadia working;
2. Casanovo reporting RT and making non-tryptic ckpt compatible with the last release;
3. InstaNovo with winnow integrated;
4. GUI for InstaNovo;
5. Fragnovo release in FragPipe;
6. this is one interesting: langtaosha.org.cn/lts/en/prepr...

The following fragment of code if from fragpipe de novo. Does that mean that de novo in fragpipe will run DIA?

private static final String[] MODEL_OPTIONS = {
"DDA_MassIVE",
"ddaPASEF",
"DIA_Orbitrap",
"diaPASEF",
"nonspecific"
}

I have used a BL21 proteome and tried the "recomended" fasta header. The names in fragpipe were messed.

Is there a file generated by FragPipe that stores information similar to the msms.txt file from MaxQuant? That is, matches (b and y ions), intensities, and m/z values. If not, adding this information would be invaluable.

BTW: You may have noticed how much I like DIANN and FragPipe :)

FragPipe users: I've updated PSManalyst shiny app. Check it out and enjoy the easiest way to evaluate the quality of your runs. Now you can map peptides to protein coverage counting PSMs.

I've updated the PSManalyst app for individual psm files. Now you can check how some modifications affect the RT of peptides. Give it a try ;)

It would be amazing if the report.parquet could report the adjacent sequence. Let's say 4 AA before and after the peptide Stripped.Sequence. I do it with left_join from UniProt
id_mapping. This would make the graphical output more complete (as in PSManalyst for FragPipe, github.com/41ison/PSMan...)

It's now properly published. If you want to easily check important characteristics of your data before diving into complicated statistics, check out PSManalyst.

PSManalyst: A Dashboard for Visual Quality Control of FragPipe Results
FragPipe is recognized as one of the fastest computational platforms in proteomics, making it a practical solution for the rapid quality control of high-throughput sample analyses. Starting with version 23.0, FragPipe introduced the “Generate Summary Report” feature, offering .pdf reports with essential quality control metrics to address the challenge of intuitively assessing large-scale proteomics data. While traditional spreadsheet formats (e.g., tsv files) are accessible, the complexity of the data often limits user-friendly interpretation. To further enhance accessibility, PSManalyst, a Shiny-based R application, was developed to process FragPipe output files (psm.tsv, protein.tsv, and combined_protein.tsv) and provide interactive, code-free data visualization. Users can filter peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs) by quality scores, visualize protease cleavage fingerprints as heatmaps and SeqLogos, and access a range of quality control metrics and representations such as peptide length distributions, ion densities, mass errors, and wordclouds for overrepresented peptides. The tool facilitates seamless switching between PSM and protein data visualization, offering insights into protein abundance discrepancies, samplewise similarity metrics, protein coverage, and contaminants evaluation. PSManalyst leverages several R libraries (lsa, vegan, ggfortify, ggseqlogo, wordcloud2, tidyverse, ggpointdensity, and plotly) and runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, requiring only a local R setup and an IDE. The app is available at (https://github.com/41ison/PSManalyst.

They really invested in graphics. Nice. I'm still thinking of building some sort of GUI for this exploratory analysis. Already did it for FragPipe and DIANN. Thinking on next steps, just for fun.

I think it might be useful for some people using FragPipe. You can take advantage of the search speed in FragPipe to quickly check for calibration loss in your mass spectrometry instrument.
You will find an R script and the explanation on how to use it.
Enjoy the code!

It's the worst comparison I've ever seen. Right should be: both search engines without rescore or both search engines with the same rescore tool.

Hi Luke, so it nicely outperforms FragPipe on DDA? Cool :) if something is not working (single charge peptides?), please do post on github, I can take a look at logs and data, maybe config that can be adjusted.

There too many such papers around these days, but now with tools such as fragpipe for intact glycopeptides, there’s no longer an excuse …

The ceiling is not going to be reached, but cohort size is correlated.

Also think goal of search. Fragpipe and spectrum centric searches will find PTMs easier. Peptide centric searches are much faster but have more narrow scope

Dear team mass spectrometry, I am acquiring plasma proteomics data in DIA, 60SPD with Evosep-FAIMS (CV-45)Exploris 480, and the pq500 peptides spike in. Can you help me understand what kind of workflow and settings I should use on SP18 and/or on FragPipe-DIANN?
