Hi Ankit, before repeating the experiment, I would suggest that you look through the pepXML file to see if you can find those iRT peptides. Perhaps they are there and identified, but below your probability threshold? Or consider if there may be a mis-setting of search parameters that is preventing them from being identified? (for example, perhaps tolerance settings that are too small and you’re missing identifications, or ???) In other words, before rerunning your experiment, it would be good to understand the root cause why the iRT peptides are not coming through. I might have nothing to do with the running of the experiment, but rather the analysis? It would be cheaper to check that first before rereunning.

Actually I used 11 iRT peptides (all are present in iRT.txt file), but unfortunately only two are present in the library. So do I need to repeat the experiment or there is another way out?

I have analyzed the DDA data upto the Mayu FDR determination step, also got the IPP/PP values corresponding to 1%FDR. After that I am using following command, but got the error that "Too few landmarks with distinct iRTs to perform RT normalization".
