peptagram visualizes the comparison of peptide coverage across proteomics experiments.

It even lets you compare peptides from different search engines.

The visualization is generated as an HTML5 visualization, which is:

  • executable: runs on any modern webbrowser
  • cross-platform: everyone has a webbrowser
  • self-contained: just zip directory and send by email
  • publishable: installable on any server, even on Dropbox

If you would rather examine spectra in detail, try peptide-shaker or PepXMLViewer.

Installation

peptagram consists of a set of python scripts that converts proteomics data into an HTML5 visualisation (Chrome, Safari, Firefox).

peptagram requries python 2.7. If your system does not have it, you should download python.

Download and unzip the package from https://github.com/boscoh/peptagram/archive/master.zip.

For developers: to use peptagram as a python module, you should:

> pip install peptagram

Or download the package and run:

> python setup.py install

peptagram has two python dependencies:

  1. pymzml to read .mzML files
  2. uniprot to get protein sequences from http://uniprot.org.

To install them with the python package installer pip:

> pip install pymzml uniprot
