ProteomeCommons now has a community blog:
http://proteomecommons.org/blog/browse.jsp
The blog is in beta but works for the most part. I'm going to post
something about my experiments in searching Mascot with perfect
predicted data.
To do so I released a new module ms-uniprot. At present it has only
one task, 'entry', which pulls down a UniProt entry as fasta, xml, etc
using an accession number. For example:
% gem install ms-uniprot
% rap uniprot/entry P02768 --: dump
I also updated ms-mascot for the post. Here are the commands to
predict and fragment tryptic peptides 3-residues or longer.
% gem install ms-uniprot ms-mascot
% tap run — uniprot/entry P02768 –: digest --min-length 3 --:i
mascot/fragment --:s mascot/format_mgf --: dump P02768.mgf
And now to submit the spectra to Mascot.
% tap run -- mascot/submit P02768.mgf --params:USEREMAIL
your....@email.edu --: dump
NOTE: I update ms-mascot to use tap-mechanize and the latest version
of tap. In the latest version the dump/load tasks have changed
slightly, so heads up.
