Building consensus spectral libraries for peptide identification in proteomics

Spectral searching has drawn increasing interest as an alternative to sequence-database searching in proteomics. We developed and validated an open-source software toolkit, SpectraST, to enable proteomics researchers to build spectral libraries and to integrate this promising approach in their data-analysis pipeline. It allows individual researchers to condense raw data into spectral libraries, summarizing information about observed proteomes into a concise and retrievable format for future data analyses.
