bictools - a python package to perform variant detection on proteomic MS data using BICEPS (Renard et al. 2012). This repository contains a convenient KNIME workflow to perform the analysis of MS data via OpenMS and a python package (bictools) to handle results from the peptide identification from BICEPs. The combination of both utilities allows to execute the proteomic variant detection workflow. **legacy commit from sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bictools/)** Welcome to the bictools wiki! This page contains all necessary information to perform a variant detection with BICEPs. However, you will require a list of software installed on your computer to run the analysis smoothly. KNIME with OpenMS Extension (http://www.knime.org/downloads/overview) python 2.7 (https://www.python.org/) In addition you need the following python packages: - pandas (http://www.pandas.pydata.org) - HTSeq (http://www-huber.embl.de/HTSeq/) - matplotlib (http://www.matplotlib.org) - pyopenms (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyopenms) - brewer2mpl (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/brewer2mpl/1.4) See the wiki page for detailed information and a tutorial.
