MSGFplus

MSGFPlus (MSGF+ or MSGFPlus) is a tool to identify peptide from tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) data. The MSGFPlus algorithm scores MS/MS spectra against a protein sequence database to identify peptides. MSGFPlus algorithm is optimal for various combinations of fragmentation methods, instruments, enzymes, and experimental protocols. See also an R interface for MSGFPlus and MSGFgui.
