Searching plexDIA data

Libraries for searching plexDIA data

These libraries are for searching spectra from mTRAQ-labeled peptides. All libraries and FASTAs below include canonical and isoform protein sequences from Swissprot.

Predicted libraries output from DIA-NN:

  1. Human, Yeast, E. coli & corresponding Human, Yeast, E. coli FASTA (source: Derks et al, 2022)

  2. Human & corresponding Human FASTA (source: Derks et al, 2022)

Empirical, curated libraries:

  1. Human, 100 cells of PDAC, melanoma, and monocytes from Q-Exactive & corresponding Human FASTA (source: Derks et al, 2022)
  2. Human, THP-1 macrophages from timsTOF SCP & corresponding Human FASTA (source: manuscript in preparation Derks et al, 2023)

 

Tutorial on searching plexDIA data

Searching plexDIA data with DIA-NN is described in this tutorial. The tutorial is for DIA-NN v1.8.1 and searching with later versions of DIA-NN has some changes.
