DeTELpy: Python package for high-throughput detection of amino acid substitutions in mass spectrometry datasets.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Errors in the processing of genetic information during protein synthesis can lead to phenotypic mutations, such as amino acid substitutions, e.g. by transcription or translation errors. While genetic mutations can be readily identified using DNA sequencing, and mutations due to transcription errors by RNA sequencing, translation errors can only be identified proteome-wide using mass spectrometry.

Results

Here, we provide a Python package implementation of a high-throughput pipeline to detect amino acid substitutions in mass spectrometry datasets. Our tools enable users to process hundreds of mass spectrometry datasets in batch mode to detect amino acid substitutions and calculate codon-specific and site-specific translation error rates. deTELpy will facilitate the
