Function

APHID takes for input the partially processed results of MS analysis, with intensity data, filters based on scores thresholds, removes redundancy (using PINGU) and calculates relative intensity scores. PINGU is then used to generate outputs for use with Cytoscape and other visualisation tools.

Input takes the form of a delimited text file with the following column headers: Expt, Subpop, Identifier, logInt, Score. In addition, other columns may be present (and may be used to filter data). The "unique" column headers allow individual identifications to be isolated, which is important for data filtering and intensity mapping.

Intensities are converted into relative intensities with two options: (1) the redundancy level determines which results are combined. This may be simply at the identified peptide level, the gene level, or even at the protein family level (as determined through BLAST homology). If "fam" is used then GABLAM will be used to generate families for a given level of identity.

Note. Core functionality has not been checked/developed since 2010.

Commandline
