PepC: proteomics software for identifying differentially expressed proteins based on spectral counting
Summary:
Identifying biologically significant changes in protein abundance between two conditions is a key issue when analyzing proteomic data. One widely used approach centers on spectral counting, a label-free method that sums all the tandem mass spectra for a protein observed in an analysis. To assess the significance of the results, we recently combined the t-test and G-test, with random permutation analysis, and we validated this approach biochemically. To automate the statistical method, we developed PepC, a software program that balances the trade-off between the number of differentially expressed proteins identified and the false discovery rate. This tool can be applied to a wide range of proteomic datasets, making data analysis rapid, reproducible and easily interpretable by proteomics specialists and non-specialists alike.
Availability and implementation:
The software is implemented in Java. It has been added to the Trans Proteomic Pipeline project's ‘Petunia’ web interface, but can also be run as a command line program. The source code is GNU Lesser General Public License and the program is freely available on the web. http://sashimi.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sashimi/trunk/trans_proteomic_pipeline/src/Quantitation/Pepc
