iq (version 2.0.0)

Protein Quantification in Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics

Description

An implementation of the MaxLFQ algorithm by Cox et al. (2014) in a comprehensive pipeline for processing proteomics data in data-independent acquisition mode (Pham et al. 2020 ). It offers additional options for protein quantification using the N most intense fragment ions, using all fragment ions, the median polish algorithm by Tukey (1977, ISBN:0201076160), and a robust linear model. In general, the tool can be used to integrate multiple proportional observations into a single quantitative value.
