Wishlist: Indicator for transitions that are diagnostic of PTMs dkueltz  2022-01-02 11:46
 

Hi Nick, Brendan et al.,

Wishlist item: It would be nice to have an identifier for transitions that are diagnostic of fragment ions containing a specific PTM, i.e. some sort of flag or column that can be sorted and filtered in the document view grids and indicates those transitions that are diagnostic for a PTM (i.e. all y ions greater than the position of the PTM in question from the c terminus and all b ions greater than the position of the PTM in question from the N terminus, etc.). Having such an identifier would help a lot in automating the process of finding diagnostic transitions for PTMs and save a lot of time by not having to do this manually. Perhaps there is already a way to do this and I am just missing it.

Thanks for considering this wishlist request,
Dietmar

Dietmar,

Can you send us an example Skyline document where you would want this extra information displayed?
We have a new employee in the lab who is working on this feature and it would be helpful to have an example document to start with.

Hi Nick,
That's great that you are planning to find a way for implementing this functionality! Yes, of course, I will upload a document within the next few days and annotate some specific peptides to point out the possible scenarios. I will let you after uploading is complete.
Thanks!
Dietmar
