Proteome Discoverer Software

Comprehensive, expandable platform

Proteomics research requires more than just simple identification. Simplify the identification and quantification of proteins in complex biological samples for a wide range of proteomic workflows, from protein and peptide identification to PTM analysis to isobaric mass tagging and both SILAC and label-free quantitation.

Thermo Scientific Proteome Discoverer software offers a full suite of analysis tools with the flexibility to address multiple research workflows, and an easy-to-use, wizard·driven interface. Supporting multiple database search algorithms (SEQUEST HT, Mascot, Byonic, MS Amanda, and ProSightPD) and multiple dissociation techniques (CID, HCD, ETD, and EThcD) delivering more comprehensive and complete analyses.

Learn more

With support for multiple dissociation techniques, quantitation technologies, and database search algorithms enabling comprehensive protein identification, characterization, and quantitation, Proteome Discoverer is the comprehensive tool for your proteomic studies.

Comprehensive toolset to support your studies

With a wide range of search algorithms from SEQUEST: Mascot, MS Amanda, Byonic and ProsightPD, the ability to combine the output from multiple algorithms allows cross-validation of results, increasing confidence in your decision making.

Complete sequence coverage and confident identification of post-translational modifications (PTMs) is realized with support for multiple dissociation techniques from collision induced dissociation (CID), higher-energy collision induced dissociation (HCD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD).

Additionally, full support for isobaric mass tagging with TMT and iTRAQ, as well as isotopic labelling with SILAC and label-free quantitation techniques provides complete experimental flexibility for your laboratory.

Relative quantitation

Proteome Discoverer 2.2 Tools for statistical and biological interpretation.

Proteome Discoverer Tools for statistical and biological interpretation. Includes study management for mapping of quantitation channels to biological information about the sample, with fast, robust algorithms for peak selection and peptide quantification to extract the maximum possible information from quantitative proteomics studies.

Workflow tools

Nodes that encapsulate 3rd party algorithms available in Proteome Discoverer.

Third party nodes for data processing, facilitates the processing of large datasets. Additionally, biological context by automatically annotating identified proteins with GO classifications, PTMs sites, and literature references from public databases (active maintenance required) can be illustrated.

Effective location of low-level sample components using creative data interrogation strategies such as generating inclusion and exclusion lists and importing those lists directly into instrument methods is provided, and data comparison, exchange, and verification with support for data standards developed by the HUPO Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) is additionally supported.
