Hi Juergen, this sounds like a sensible idea, but as far as I’m aware, this
functionality does not yet exist.

*Subject:* [spctools-discuss] SpectraST LibraryBuilding Decoys





Dear all,



I am  using spectraST frequently to build spectral libraries and also the
corresponding decoy libraries. Usually these libraries are build by
randomly shuffling sequences or adding amino acids to the peptide sequence.
Thus, during the downstream processing of search results with peptide or
protein prophet decoys can not be mapped to the correct protein, when using
a forward/reverse fasta file.



I was not worried about this before but, since recently started to use the
philosopher pipeline for FDR filtering on protein level, I am not sure
whether those decoy peptides will transfer correctly to the protein level?

I know that I can use the option to include unmapped peptides in the
prophets but I don't know how those peptides would be distributed to the
correct proteins? I guess the easiest way to ensure correct mapping would
be an option to export a fasta file together with the decoy generation
which includes the concatenated modified peptide sequences for each
protein. Does anyone know if such an option present in spectraST?



Best regards,

Juergen
