Bug Discovery in decoyFastaGenerator.pl

[David Shteynberg]

Dear TPP Users,

We have recently discovered and patched a bug in the TPP tool decoyFastaGenerator.pl.  The bug manifests by excluding the last sequence from the input protein database from both randomization and output, instead outputting the penultimate protein sequence twice.  

The next official release of the TPP will be patched.  Meanwhile, you can replace the impacted program currently installed (in C:/TPP/bin/decoyFastaGenerator.pl or where you installed your TPP tools) with the code from our source tree:

https://sourceforge.net/p/sashimi/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/trans_proteomic_pipeline/perl/bin/decoyFastaGenerator.pl

For more information about the bug and the code change see:

Thank you for your continued reliance on the TPP and our efforts to provide the proteomics community with powerful tools for your analysis and validation needs. If you have any questions or problem please let us on this list.

Cheers!

-David
