Web Documentation for XTandemAdapter

Options

version
Version of the tool that generated this parameters file.
ignore_adapter_param
Set this to use the configuration given in 'default_config_file' exclusively, ignoring other parameters (apart from 'in', 'out', 'database', 'xtandem_executable') set via this adapter.
precursor_mass_tolerance
Precursor mass tolerance
fragment_mass_tolerance
Fragment mass error
precursor_error_units
Parent monoisotopic mass error units
fragment_error_units
Fragment monoisotopic mass error units
max_precursor_charge
Maximum precursor charge ('0' to use X! Tandem default)
no_isotope_error
By default, misassignment to the first and second isotopic 13C peak are also considered. Set this flag to disable.
fixed_modifications
Fixed modifications, specified using Unimod (www.unimod.org) terms, e.g. 'Carbamidomethyl (C)' or 'Oxidation (M)'
variable_modifications
Variable modifications, specified using Unimod (www.unimod.org) terms, e.g. 'Carbamidomethyl (C)' or 'Oxidation (M)'
minimum_fragment_mz
Minimum fragment m/z
enzyme
The enzyme used for peptide digestion.
missed_cleavages
Number of possible cleavage sites missed by the enzyme
semi_cleavage
Require only peptide end to have a valid cleavage site, not both.
output_results
Which hits should be reported. All, valid ones (passing the E-Value threshold), or stochastic (failing the threshold)
max_valid_expect
Maximal E-Value of a hit to be reported (only evaluated if 'output_result' is 'valid' or 'stochastic')
reindex
Recalculate peptide to protein association using OpenMS. Annotates target-decoy information.
log
Name of log file (created only when specified)
debug
Sets the debug level
threads
Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool
no_progress
Disables progress logging to command line
force
Overrides tool-specific checks
test
Enables the test mode (needed for internal use only)
decoy_string
String that was appended (or prefixed - see 'decoy_string_position' flag below) to the accessions in the protein database to indicate decoy proteins. If empty (default), it's determined automatically (checking for common terms, both as prefix and suffix).
decoy_string_position
Is the 'decoy_string' prepended (prefix) or appended (suffix) to the protein accession? (ignored if decoy_string is empty)
missing_decoy_action
Action to take if NO peptide was assigned to a decoy protein (which indicates wrong database or decoy string): 'error' (exit with error, no output), 'warn' (exit with success, warning message), 'silent' (no action is taken, not even a warning)
write_protein_sequence
If set, the protein sequences are stored as well.
write_protein_description
If set, the protein description is stored as well.
keep_unreferenced_proteins
If set, protein hits which are not referenced by any peptide are kept.
unmatched_action
If peptide sequences cannot be matched to any protein: 1) raise an error; 2) warn (unmatched PepHits will miss target/decoy annotation with downstream problems); 3) remove the hit.
aaa_max
Maximal number of ambiguous amino acids (AAAs) allowed when matching to a protein database with AAAs. AAAs are 'B', 'J', 'Z' and 'X'.
mismatches_max
Maximal number of mismatched (mm) amino acids allowed when matching to a protein database. The required runtime is exponential in the number of mm's; apply with care. MM's are allowed in addition to AAA's.
IL_equivalent
Treat the isobaric amino acids isoleucine ('I') and leucine ('L') as equivalent (indistinguishable). Also occurrences of 'J' will be treated as 'I' thus avoiding ambiguous matching.
allow_nterm_protein_cleavage
Allow the protein N-terminus amino acid to clip.
name
Enzyme which determines valid cleavage sites - e.g. trypsin cleaves after lysine (K) or arginine (R), but not before proline (P). Default: deduce from input
specificity
Specificity of the enzyme. Default: deduce from input. 'full': both internal cleavage sites must match. 'semi': one of two internal cleavage sites must match. 'none': allow all peptide hits no matter their context (enzyme is irrelevant).

Input Ports

Icon
Input file containing MS2 spectra [mzML]
Icon
FASTA file or pro file. Non-existing relative file-names are looked up via'OpenMS.ini:id_db_dir' [FASTA]
Icon
Default X! Tandem configuration file. All parameters of this adapter take precedence over the file - use it for parameters not available here. A template file can be found at 'OpenMS/share/CHEMISTRY/XTandem_default_config.xml'. [xml,opt.]

Output Ports

Icon
Output file containing search results [idXML]
Icon
Raw output file directly from X! Tandem. Either 'out' or 'xml_out' are required. They can be used together. [xml]

XTandemAdapter Std Output
The text sent to standard out during the execution of XTandemAdapter.
XTandemAdapter Error Output
The text sent to standard error during the execution of XTandemAdapter. (If it appears in gray, it's the output of a previously failing run which is preserved for your trouble shooting.)
