Summary: MS-BID (MS Biomarker Discovery Platform) is an integrative computational pipeline for biomarker discovery using LC-MS-based comparative proteomic analysis. This platform consists of several computational tools for: (i) detecting peptides in the collected patterns; (ii) matching detected peptides across a number of LC-MS datasets and (iii) selecting discriminatory peptides between classes of samples.
