Hi all,
From our testing result as well, "from decoy" option does not seem to be the cause of the problem. When we processed the data using v1.5 TopFD and v1.5 TopPIC along with the "keep decoy" option, we did not have the issue. However, we could exactly reproduce Dr. Zhou's issue when we ran v1.4 TopFD with v1.5 TopPIC. There has been a change to the output file format in v1.5 TopFD from v1.4 TopFD, so it could have caused the issue.
For Dr. Zhou, could you try running the v1.5 version of TopFD and TopPIC to process the data?
For James, which version of TopFD did you use before running TopPIC? If it was v1.5, could you share the data and the commands with us so that we can look into the issue?
Thank you,
