Compomics-utilities: an open-source Java library for computational proteomics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The growing interest in the field of proteomics has increased the demand for software tools and applications that process and analyze the resulting data. And even though the purpose of these tools can vary significantly, they usually share a basic set of features, including the handling of protein and peptide sequences, the visualization of (and interaction with) spectra and chromatograms, and the parsing of results from various proteomics search engines. Developers typically spend considerable time and effort implementing these support structures, which detracts from working on the novel aspects of their tool.

Results

In order to simplify the development of proteomics tools, we have implemented an open-source support library for computational proteomics, called c
