Getting the software
The latest TPP version is 7.0.0, released March 2024.
For support both during and after installation, you are encouraged to consult the SPC Tools newsgroups:
|
Installing on a Windows System
The Windows version of TPP is provided as a pre-built binary self-installing executable which can be downloaded from the SourceForge site here. There are also detailed instructions on how to install the latest version of TPP in the TPP 5.2.0 Windows installation guide. (instructions also apply to 6.x versions)
Source Code Installation (For Linux systems)
The latest source code package can be found here, on the Sashimi project site on SourceForge. This is gzipped tar archive that can be unpacked using tools such as tar, 7-zip, or WinZip. Details on how to compile TPP can be found in the README and INSTALL_LINUX files found in the top level directory of the package. There is also a series of installation guides, which are more detailed and contain information specific to certain distributions: Linux Installation Guides.
Advanced Topic: building the TPP from source on Windows
NOTE: These advanced topics are for developers. Windows users can download and run the TPP Windows installer, which includes everything needed to run the TPP.
- TPP:Building Windows-native binaries with Mingw
- TPP:Building Windows-native binaries with Visual Studio 2005
Mac OSX
Please Note: The TPP 7.0.0 is officially supported on Mac OSX. Please download the MacOS package!
Software contained in the TPP
Probability Assignment and Validation
PeptideProphet: Statistical validation of PSMs using search engine results.
iProphet: Distinct peptide sequence validation, using PeptideProphet results; can also combine the results of multiple search engines.
ProteinProphet: Protein identification and validation, using PeptideProphet OR iProphet results.
Mayu: Decoy-estimated FDRs (false discovery rate) for PeptideProphet results.
Protein Quantification
XPRESS: Calculation of relative abundances of peptides and proteins from isotopically labeled MS/MS samples.
ASAPRatio: Automated Statistical Analysis on Protein Ratio; an alternative to XPRESS.
Libra: Quantification of isobarically-labeled samples (e.g. iTraq, TMT, etc) for any number of channels
StPeter: Label-free Quantification of Shotgun-MS using Normalized Spectral Indexes, Spectral Counts, or Normalized Spectral Abundance Factors.
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Petunia: Petunia is the name of the TPP's web-based GUI, which presents the tools in an organized and logical manner for those who do not wish to use the command-line.
Spectral Library Building and Searching
SpectraST: Searches spectral libraries (including publicly available ones from NIST and GPM) to identify peptide MS/MS spectra. Builds spectral libraries from sequence search results.
Protein ID Curation
Out2Summary - converter of SEQUEST and TurboSEQUEST *.out files into a single HTML-SUMMARY file ready for use with INTERACT
Pep3D: Viewer for LC-MS and LC-MS/MS results.
Input Processing: mzXML Tools
readmzXML: mzML/mzXML parser based on RAMP
MzXML2Search: Converts mzXML files to SEQUEST dta, MASCOT mgf, and Micromass pkl files
mzStar: SCIEX/ABI Analyst format to mzXML converter
ReAdW: ThermoFinnigan Xcalibur format to mzXML converter
MZIdentML: Handling MZIdentml
DidIScanThat: Interrogating MS/MS spectra of mzML files.
RAMP: mzXML data parser
Input Processing: Search-Engine to pepXML converters
- Sequest results: Out2XML

Working with supported search engines
The TPP currently supports Sequest, Mascot, ProbID, X!Tandem, Comet, SpectraST, MSGF+, Inspect, MyriMatch, and Phenyx. Please see the supported search engines page for more information.

TPP and Related Software Tools
This page describes the (sometimes confusing!) relationship between the many software projects that integrate with the TPP, either as compatible search engines, or as projects that repackage and redistribute the TPP itself.
