[spctools-discuss] Re: Database SEQUEST search SLOW!

Yes, I am doing an in house sequest search.  I generate the .srf files
from .raw files and then use the .srf files to convert them to pep.xml
using mspire. This takes much less time than using the pipeline.  Good
point about the scan numbers in mzXML files and pep.xmlI will make
sure they are the same.

I will be giving all the search algorithms a try soon...

 Ah, ok, I see that mspire takes Thermo .srf files, which I believe are
 the newer Sequest search result files
 (http://mspire.rubyforge.org/tutorial/search_precision/prophet.html).
 Since this method hasn't been validated by us, you'll want to be sure
 that the scan numbers in the mzXML files still refer to the scan
 numbers in the mspire-converted pep.xml.  So in your method you *are*
 doing a search step, and are still using Sequest.

 You might want to give X!Tandem a try!

  Ok. Just to let you know, you will need to do *some* search step in
  order to make use of the TPP.  mspire is a completely independent
  project and is not supported by the TPP (although looking at their
  website, it seems that they try to be compatible at least in formats).
   So I think you're missing the peptide ID phase, which is the info
  that .pep.xml files should contain.  Feel free to educate me about
  about mspire if I'm wrong.

  Hi Natalie

  I used sequest.  I've sort of given up on that.  I now convert my .raw
  files directly to .pep.xml files using mspire.  Its not much of a
  pipeline anymore but it does the job.

  Hi Ali,

  Greg made some good comments on your post regarding the Sequest search
  engine.  I'm curious as to what search engine you're using.  The TPP
  includes X!Tandem, which is generally significantly faster than Sequest, 
  and
  is multi-threaded (and free, so you can even consider running it across a
  cluster-- something we're hoping to make easier in the future).  Note,
  though, all search engines, including X!Tandem, are affected by the search
  parameters that you use.  So a semi-tryptic  search will generally always
  take longer than a full-tryptic search but increase the search space 
  (which
  is good), so it's always going to be a trade-off.  We include some default
  X!Tandem parameter files; as you get more experience, you might want to 
  play
  with modifying some of the parameters to optimize your search.

   Sequest is not very fast. The only way to really speed up sequest is to
   give it more processors, provided you are using sequest in a way that 
   will
   allow you to use the extra processors. There are many factors that 
   affect
   the speed of processing though, with the two largest being the type of
   digestion and the size of the database. The number of modifications also
   plays a role in the amount of time, so as you can see there isn't any 
   one
   way to really speed up sequest. Also, 10 hours isn't all that bad, try 
   doing
   a no-enzyme search on a decent sized database, that can take days on 1-2
   processors.

   Hi everyone

   I am doing some databse search with mzXML files generated from
   Thermo .raw files against my database.  I have a duo core 2GB RAM
   machine.  I understand that TPP does not use multi-threading but one
   mzXML file seems to take 10 hours to process!!  Is there anyway I can
   speed up this process?

[spctools-discuss] Re: trapper fails when large files processed

2009-07-20 Thread David Shteynberg

Hello Ilya,

The error explains the problem error getting spectrum
empty scan object.   The error is referring to the follow bit of
code:

  215 MH::BDA::IBDASpecData* MHDACWrapper::GetSpectrum
(MH::IMsdrDataReader* pMSDataReader,
  216   
 double retentionTime,
  217   
 MH::MSScanType scanType,
  218   
 MH::IonPolarity ionPolarity,
  219   
 MH::IonizationMode ionizationMode,
  220   
 MH::IMsdrPeakFilter* filter,
  221   
 VARIANT_BOOL* filterOnCentroid)
  222 {
  223   MH::BDA::IBDASpecData* specData = NULL;
  224   COMCHECK(pMSDataReader-GetSpectrum_7(
  225   retentionTime,
  226   scanType,
  227   ionPolarity,
  228   ionizationMode,
  229   filter,
  230   *filterOnCentroid,
  231   specData),
  232   error getting spectrum);
  233
  234   return specData;
  235 }

The failure is on a COM object call to an Agilent software library
function call.  Are you sure there is actual data in the file you are
giving to trapper to convert? Have you opened this data file in an
agilent viewer? Would you mind posting your raw data to our FTP site
(instructions here
http://tools.proteomecenter.org/wiki/index.php?title=TPP:Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_do_I_upload_files_to_the_SPC_tools_team.3F)?
We can then try to reproduce your problem in a debugger to find the
cause of failure.

 Hello.

 The last time I've used it the error looked this way:

 E:\trappertrapper.exe --mzXML -c E:\trapper\MasKate1-r001.d
 single mode file
 (got computer name: RIGHT)
 ERROR at .\MHDACWrapper.cpp, 227:
 HR = -2147024882
 error getting spectrum
 empty scan object

 E:\trapper

 What could it be?
 May be, it's not memory problem. There's Windows OS.

 What's Tranche? Is it free upload resource?
 Sure, I can and want to upload it.

 Thanks!

  Hello Ilya,

  I have not used trapper but in a situation like this a more detailed
  description of the failure may be needed.  Are there any error

  What else have to tried to address this issue?  Can you post a problem

   There's a question about the trapper in TPP (Win-version).
   Now we use trapper to convert .d (Agilent-files, Q-ToF) in mzXML; and
   then use Decon2ls to process it into deconvoluted and deisotoped data
   for AMT approach. It's our work flow very shortly.
   There's problem, that we can't process with trapper large files (as
   our4.5Gbchromatograms). It fails during the processing. Is it the
   problem of the memory?
   May you advise something to solve this problem?
   Thanks in advance!

[spctools-discuss] Re: What the mean of LIBRA (0),LIBRA (1)..LIBRA (n) in .prot.xml

2009-07-20 Thread Luis Mendoza
Hello,
You can find this information in the Libra documentation page at:
http://sashimi.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sashimi/trunk/trans_proteomic_pipeline/src/Quantitation/Libra/docs/libra_info.html

Specifically: *The value 99.99 *indicates that a protein's quantition was
calculated using only peptide, and so the standard error is infinite. *The
value -9.0 *indicates that no peptides of the protein survived the
threshhold filter and outlier removal, so the protein quantitation is
undefined.

Cheers,
--Luis

 Hi everyone
I get a result of iTRAQ, I don't know the mean of Libra(0) 114.0:
