PANDA: A comprehensive and flexible tool for quantitative proteomics data analysis

Abstract

As the experiment techniques and strategies in quantitative proteomics are improving rapidly, the corresponding algorithms and tools for protein quantification with high accuracy and precision are continuously required to be proposed. Here, we present a comprehensive and flexible tool named PANDA for proteomics data quantification. PANDA, which supports both label-free and labeled quantifications, is compatible with existing peptide identification tools and pipelines with considerable flexibility. Compared with MaxQuant on several complex datasets, PANDA was proved to be more accurate and precise with less computation time.
