MSblender is a statistical tool for merging database search results from multiple database search engines for peptide identification based on a multivariate modeling approach. We presented this work at [http://proteomics.ucsd.edu/recombcp2011/ RECOMB-CP 2011] on March, 2011, and published in the ''Journal of Proteomics Research'' in April, 2011 (see [[MSblender#Citation]] for details).

Some search engines report multiple PSMs from a single spectrum (mainly because of different charge state estimation). For example, in default setting, MyriMatch reports all best hits for both +2 and +3 charge states, so the total number of PSMs is almost two times more than other search engine results. To remove this imbalance, you can choose 'the best' PSM per each spectrum based on the score you defined. And 'select-best-PSM.py' is the script for that.

It also reports total number of PSMs with 'mvscore=1.0' (means perfect multivariate score).

MSblender is a statistical tool for merging database search results from multiple database search engines for peptide identification based on a multivariate modeling approach. We presented this work at RECOMB-CP 2011 on March, 2011, and published in the Journal of Proteomics Research in April, 2011 (see MSblender#Citation for details).

Contents

Authors

Prerequisites

(We have tested our code under Mac OSX (10.5 Leopard) and Ubuntu Linux (10.04 and later). We don't support MS Windows platforms yet.) To run MSblender, you should install the following programs/packages on the machine.

  • python (2.5 or later)
  • gcc (we used version 4.4.3, but we believe that our ANSI-C based codes are not dependent on specific version of gcc).
  • GNU Scientific Library (version 1.13 or later)
    • If you use ubuntu (or debian) linux, install 'gsl-bin' and 'libgsl0-*' packages.
  • (Optional) matplotlib (python graph library). Only required for plotting scripts written in python.

Also, you need to have search engine results to run MSblender. All searches should be conducted with same concatenated database (target + decoy). The current script recognizes 'xf_' prefix at protein ID as a decoy sequence, but you can easily modify this at 'make-msblender_in.py'.

Installation

  • Download source code from GitHub. Alternatively, you can download it from http://www.marcottelab.org/users/MSblender/release/ .
  • Enter to 'src/' directory, and execute './compile' script. You should have GNU Scientific Library before running this script. It will generate 'msblender' and 'msblender.h.gch' files at the same directory.
  • That's it. Now you are ready to run MSblender.

How to use

MSblender works in three stages: pre-processing, modelling and post-processing.

Pre-processing

First MSblender converts the set of peptide mass spectral search engine results into a unified tab-delimited text file called the 'hit_list' format. Then it transforms this 'hit_list' into an MSblender modelling program input file. You can see a 'test' dataset and its output at http://www.marcottelab.org/users/MSblender/test/.

Currently, MSblender supports the following search engine results (and scores).

For example, you can convert an X!Tandem pepxml file to logE_hit_score as shown below:

$ ../src/MSblender-20110130/pre/tandem_pepxml-to-logE_hit_list.py test.tandem_k.pepxml 
Write test.tandem_k.logE_hit_list ... 

The hit_list file generated by this program looks like this:

# pepxml: test.tandem_k.pepxml
#Spectrum_id	Charge	PrecursorMz	MassDiff	Peptide	Protein	MissedCleavages	Score(-log10[E-value])
MSups_5ul.07228.07228.4	4	689.596425	0.004000	SLLSNVEGDNAVPMQHNNRPTQPLK	CAH1_HUMAN_UPS|P00915|5000|50000|260	0	1.795880
MSups_5ul.11647.11647.2	2	592.839650	0.000000	ADGLAVIGVLMK	CAH1_HUMAN_UPS|P00915|5000|50000|260	0	1.148742
MSups_5ul.06405.06405.2	2	524.279350	0.003000	DLFNAIATGK	CATA_HUMAN_UPS|P04040|5000|5000|526	0	0.327902
....

Some search engines report multiple PSMs for a single spectrum (mainly because of different charge state estimations). For example, in the default setting, MyriMatch reports all best hits for both +2 and +3 charge states, so the total number of PSMs is almost twice that of other search engine results. To correct for these effects, you can choose 'the best' PSM per each spectrum based on the score you defined. And 'select-best-PSM.py' is the script for that.

$ wc test.myrimatch.mvh_hit_list
  10888   87099 1168772 test.myrimatch.mvh_hit_list
$ ../src/MSblender-20110130/pre/select-best-PSM.py test.myrimatch.mvh_hit_list
$ wc test.myrimatch.mvh_hit_list_best 
  5516  44123 598964 test.myrimatch.mvh_hit_list_best

Then, you can compile multiple 'hit_list' files into msblender input file. You need to have a text conf file as below:

InsPect         test.inspect.MQscore_hit_list_best
MyriMatch       test.myrimatch.mvh_hit_list_best
SEQUEST         test.sequest.xcorr_hit_list_best
X!Tandem        test.tandem_k.logE_hit_list_best

Then, run 'make-msblender_in.py' script. It will make <prefix of conf file>.msblender_in file and <prefix of conf file>.prot_list.

$ ../src/MSblender-20110130/pre/make-msblender_in.py msblender.conf

'msblender.msblender_in' looks like this:

The program will terminate when it converges. If the number of iterations reaches your initial setting (here, 100), run the script again allowing for more iterations.

Now you should see an output file named 'test.msblender_in.msblender_out' in the same directory. The file looks like this:

Post-processing

'make-spcount.py' script at 'post/' directory can estimate numbers of spectral counts (and peptides) at a given FDR cutoff, based on the mvscore model.

$ ~/git/MSblender/post/make-spcount.py msblender.msblender_in.msblender_out msblender.prot_list 0.01
Read msblender.prot_list ... Done
Read msblender.msblender_in.msblender_out ... Done
$

'.spcount_FDR0010', a output with spectral counts per protein, looks like this:

#ProtID	TotalCount	MSups_5ul
ALBU_HUMAN_UPS|P02768|5000|50000|584	1300.00	1300.00
ANT3_HUMAN_UPS|P01008|5000|50|432	4.00	4.00

CAH1_HUMAN_UPS|P00915|5000|50000|260	556.50	556.50
CAH2_HUMAN_UPS|P00918|5000|50000|259	391.00	391.00 

And, '.pep_list_FDR0010' file looks like this:
