Struggling to compare Bruker timsTOF methods or extract window schemes from raw .d files? I developed a free desktop tool to solve this: timsCompare! 🚀
It automates the manual work of extracting method parameters, presenting them in a structured and comparable view.

This just tells me how bad Marriott's reading and media consumption habits are, because it feels like more academics are doing public scholarship than ever!

Our distant ancestors sometimes did things tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago, leaving incidental traces that we sometimes are lucky enough to notice. Whatever they were doing, it was almost certainly not their intention to be noticed by us.

PSManalyst: A Dashboard for Visual Quality Control of FragPipe Results
FragPipe is recognized as one of the fastest computational platforms in proteomics, making it a practical solution for the rapid quality control of high-throughput sample analyses. Starting with version 23.0, FragPipe introduced the “Generate Summary Report” feature, offering .pdf reports with essential quality control metrics to address the challenge of intuitively assessing large-scale proteomics data. While traditional spreadsheet formats (e.g., tsv files) are accessible, the complexity of the data often limits user-friendly interpretation. To further enhance accessibility, PSManalyst, a Shiny-based R application, was developed to process FragPipe output files (psm.tsv, protein.tsv, and combined_protein.tsv) and provide interactive, code-free data visualization. Users can filter peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs) by quality scores, visualize protease cleavage fingerprints as heatmaps and SeqLogos, and access a range of quality control metrics and representations such as peptide length distributions, ion densities, mass errors, and wordclouds for overrepresented peptides. The tool facilitates seamless switching between PSM and protein data visualization, offering insights into protein abundance discrepancies, samplewise similarity metrics, protein coverage, and contaminants evaluation. PSManalyst leverages several R libraries (lsa, vegan, ggfortify, ggseqlogo, wordcloud2, tidyverse, ggpointdensity, and plotly) and runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, requiring only a local R setup and an IDE. The app is available at (https://github.com/41ison/PSManalyst.
