TandTRAQ: An open-source tool for integrated protein identification and quantitation

Abstract

Summary: Integrating qualitative protein identification with quantitative protein analysis is non-trivial, 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. © 2007 The Author(s).
