This chapter explains the export functionality in pride inspector for spectrum and peptide data.
You can access it from the Export menu once an experiment is being viewed and contains spectrum and peptide data to export, if there is no data, the export options are disabled.

  • PRIDE XML will export into a PRIDE XML format file. Once this option is selected in the Export | PRIDE XML , you will need to choose from the pop-up window the file where the PRIDE XML will be stored.
    As this will download the PRIDE XML from the PRIDE Web Servers, it might take a long time for larger files.
  • Spectra (.mgf) will export into a mgf (Mascot Generic File) file, the mz and intensity data for the spectra in that experiment. Once this option is selected in the Export | Spectrum (.mgf) , you will need to choose from the pop-up window the file where the spectrum data will be stored.
    It will create 1 file for all spectrum in the experiment, so can potentially create a file bigger than hundred MB.
  • Spectrum Table will export into a tab delimited file which contains all the values in the spectrum table. When you select the Export | Spectrum Details, a pop-up window will let you choose the location and name for the file to store all details.
  • Protein-Peptide Mappings will export into a tab delimited file which contains the protein accession and peptide sequence mappings. When you select the Export | Protein-Peptide Mappings, a pop-up window will let you choose the location and name for the file to store the data
  • Protein Table will export into a tab delimited file contains information about the proteins: Score, Threshold, Number of peptides, Number of distinct peptides and Number of PTMs and etc. When you select the Export | Protein Table option from the menu, a pop-up window will let you choose the location and name for the file to store the data.
  • Peptide Table will export into a tab delimited file contains information about the peptides: Peptide Sequence, PTM List, and etc. When you select the Export | Peptide Table option from the menu, a pop-up window will let you choose the location and name for the file to store the data.
