We therefore set out to develop a new search engine that would be free of these restrictions. Furthermore, Mascot is implemented in a client-server configuration, which imposes practical restrictions for some applications such as real-time searches. (36) Because it is a commercial program the exact algorithms it employs are neither known nor available for modification. Mascot takes a probability based approach to match sequences from a database to tandem mass spectra. However, there are many others including Protein prospector, (38) ProbID, (39) X!Tandem (40) OMSSA, (41) ProSight (42) and Inspect (43) (see Nesvizhskii et al.
Mascot together with SEQUEST (37) are commonly used search tools in proteomics today. The MaxQuant environment originally used the Mascot peptide search engine (36) to match tandem mass spectra to possible peptide sequences. (31) This was an important foundation for the quantification of the first complete model proteome, that of budding yeast. (33, 34) Using high resolution data combined with individualized mass accuracies and robust peptide and protein scoring results in high peptide identification rates of typically 50% and even higher on SILAC peptide pairs.
(32) MaxQuant was also specifically designed to achieve the highest possible quantitative accuracy in conjunction with stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC). This leads to greatly enhanced peptide mass accuracy that can be used as a filter in database searching. (31) MaxQuant takes advantage of high resolution data such as those obtained by the linear ion trap−Orbitrap instruments and employs algorithms that determine the mass precision and accuracy of peptides individually. It includes peak detection in the raw data, quantification, scoring of peptides and reporting of protein groups. In this context, our group has developed the MaxQuant environment, a computational proteomics workflow that addresses the above tasks with a focus on high accuracy and quantitative data. We demonstrate the flexibility of the system by implementing the capability to identify cofragmented peptides, significantly improving the total number of identified peptides. For searching individual spectra Andromeda is also accessible via a web server. Andromeda can function independently or as an integrated search engine of the widely used MaxQuant computational proteomics platform and both are freely available at The combination enables analysis of large data sets in a simple analysis workflow on a desktop computer. The algorithms of Andromeda are provided. Furthermore, it can handle data with arbitrarily high fragment mass accuracy, is able to assign and score complex patterns of post-translational modifications, such as highly phosphorylated peptides, and accommodates extremely large databases. On proteome data, Andromeda performs as well as Mascot, a widely used commercial search engine, as judged by sensitivity and specificity analysis based on target decoy searches. Here we describe Andromeda, a novel peptide search engine using a probabilistic scoring model. A key step in mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is the identification of peptides in sequence databases by their fragmentation spectra.
