Mayu

Protein Identification False Discovery Rates

Mayu is a software package for the analysis of (large) mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics data sets. Mayu determines protein identification false discovery rates (protFDR), peptide identification false discovery rates (pepFDR) and peptide-spectrum match false discovery rates (mFDR) using a novel robust and fast strategy.

Mayu is not a search engine and works with any* peptide-spectrum match discriminant score derived from a database search.

*if this discriminant score is compatible with target decoy searching
Software

For running Mayu install a perl interpreter and run the software from the unpacked zip file on a command line. See the manual, pdf for more details.

 Features
  • provides false discovery rates not only on peptide-spectrum match level (mFDR) but also on protein identification (protFDR) and peptide identification (pepFDR) level
  • false discovery rates for single hits (single peptide-spectrum match protein identifications) and all but single hits (protein identifications with more than one peptide-spectrum match)
  • analysis in dependence of the amount of data
  • R plots
  • provides tables for each input file that relate the discriminant score (e.g. PeptideProphet, xcorr, mascot ion score,...) to a peptide-spectrum match false discovery rate
