MassSpec research

This will hold the stuff for my mass spec research with Carl Ebeling as my advisor.

Papers from John Keane

he safest and quickest route to get started is probably to accelerate the "search" process (like the Toronto team did), based on the popular open-source algorithm in the "X!Tandem" program. Here are a few links to how it works:

X! Tandem flow chart (Not yet useful)

Open source system for analyzing, validating, and storing protein identification data. (Useful soon I think) Related papers.

TANDEM: matching proteins with tandem mass spectra. (Not yet useful) Related papers.

Hardware-accelerated protein identification for mass spectrometry (Useful)

Short analysis of the Toronto work on some blog (Not useful yet)

Other pages

The Global Proteome Machine Organization (Tons of open-source code to validate designs and such)

A Method for Assessing the Statistical Significance of Mass Spectrometry-Based Protein Identifications Using General Scoring Schemes (Sounds useful)

Literature References for The GPM Project (literary references are always good)

Designing hardware for protein sequence analysis (sounds related)
