The Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) is a collection of integrated tools for MS/MS proteomics, developed at the SPC.

Getting the software

Support Note

For support both during and after installation, you are strongly encouraged to consult the SPC Tools newsgroups:

The spctools-discuss discussion group provides active community support and discussion for the tools.
Important information about new releases and software updates can be found on the spctools-announce discussion group. You are highly encouraged to subscibe to this low-volume list.

Installing on a Windows System

Latest download

Detailed Windows installation guide

Source code Installation (For Linux systems)

The latest source code package can be found here, on the Sashimi project site on SourceForge. These community-contributed notes are a guide to installing on the Ubuntu distribution but should be similar to other linux systems.

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.

Mac OSX Installation guide

Software contained in the TPP

Probability Assignment and Validation

PeptideProphet: Statistical validation of spectra-to-peptide sequence, using search engine results.

ProteinProphet: Protein identification and validation, using PeptideProphet results.

Mayu: Decoy-estimated FDRs (false discovery rate) for PeptideProphet results.

Protein Quantification

XPRESS: Calculation of relative abundance of proteins from MS/MS data.

ASAPRatio: Automated Statistical Analysis on Protein Ratio.

Libra: Four channel quantification software.

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: mzXML parser based on RAMP

MsXML2Other: mzXML to SEQUEST dta, MASCOT generic and Micromass pkl converter

mzStar: SCIEX/ABI Analyst format to mzXML converter

ReAdW: ThermoFinnigan Xcalibur format to mzXML converter

RAMP: mzXML data parser

Input Processing: Search-Engine to pepXML converters

Sequest results: Out2XML
Mascot results: Mascot2XML
Tandem results: Tandem2XML

Working with supported search engines

The TPP currently supports Sequest, Mascot, ProbID, X!Tandem, and Phenyx. Please see the supported search engines page for more information.

What's New

The TPP:Recent Updates page describes updates to the software.

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.
