Get hands-on experience creating a Skyline document to measure quantitative differences in peptide expression using the MS1 scans from your data dependent acquisition (DDA) experiments. In this tutorial, you will generate a spectral library from a discovery data set, set up a Skyline document for MS1 filtering, import raw mass spectrometer data to extract precursor ion chromatograms from MS1 scans, with peak picking guided by MS/MS peptide identifications, and further process the resulting quantitative data in Skyline. If you are interested in label-free quantitative analysis of discovery data sets, this tutorial will give you a new tool set for your investigation. (41 pages)
