|---|
Summary: Integrating qualitative protein identification with quantiative protein analysis is nontrivial, given incompatibility in output formats. We present TandTRAQ, a standalone utility that integrates results from i-Tracker, an open-source iTRAQ quantitation program with the search results from X!Tandem, an open source proteome search engine. The utility runs from the command-line and can be easily integrated into a pipeline for automation.
Availability: The TandTRAQ Perl scripts are freely available for download at http://www.ohsucancer.com/isrdev/tandtraq/
