FragPipe:

FragPipe is a Java Graphical User Interface (GUI) for a suite of computational tools enabling comprehensive analysis of mass spectrometry-based proteomics data. It is powered by MSFragger - an ultrafast proteomic search engine suitable for both conventional and "open" (wide precursor mass tolerance) peptide identification. FragPipe also includes the Philosopher toolkit for downstream post-processing of MSFragger search results (PeptideProphet, iProphet, ProteinProphet), FDR filtering, label-free quantification, and multi-experiment summary report generation. Crystal-C and PTM-Shepherd are included to aid interpretation of open search results. Also included in FragPipe binary are SpectraST-based spectral library building module, and DIA-Umpire SE module for direct analysis of data independent acquisition (DIA) data.

Building from scratch

  1. Update build version:
    The version of the build is stored in 2 separate places:

    • File: MSFragger-GUI/src/umich/msfragger/gui/Bundle.properties
      Property: msfragger.gui.version
    • File: MSFragger-GUI/build.gradle
      Property: version

  2. Build:
    You don't need to have Gradle installed. Gradle wrapper included in this repository will be used. From the root directory of the repository issue the following commands:

    cd ./MSFragger-GUI
./gradlew prepareReleaseNoExe

  3. Inspect the output in MSFragger-GUI/build/github-release directory.

  4. If you want .exe file for Windows, then you have to build on Windows with Launch4j installed.

    ./gradlew prepareReleaseWithExe
