FragPipeAnalyst - Save yourself a couple of button clicks to BOOM - Analyst data!

 

A little while ago FragPipe overtook the always-amazing MaxQuant in terms of number of global users. While there are probably some level of error bars, such as maybe the old server I have offline because it doesn't have a CMOS(?) battery in it's motherboard so it thinks it is 2018 and exactly zero of my annual licenses on anything have expired (it runs MaxQuant 1.6.17, which was one of my very favorites). No Fragpipe on that, it has 32 bit Java. 

That was a joke. AND 1) That probably wouldn't work and 2) No sane person would admit to that if it did work. 

However, Fragpipe is a powerhouse today and Analyst has rapidly become an easy push button go-to for mid-stream proteomic data analysis. Here I'm going with mid-stream being "getting to a list of plausible targets of interest". And then I'm going to use downstream as "getting to the targets that likely explain your phenotype". I'm blasting FDA Omics Days on the other computer in the converted old garage where I'm definitely not housing some computers that don't know what year it is. 

What if you're having one of these days... 

..and you just can't find the energy to upload your FragPipe data and your burdensome experimental design into Analyst? You can still do it! 

AND if you need some middle road rather than pushing the "open FragPipe Analyst" button, starting somewhat recently (I had a scan header thing for an in house tool so we stuck to a pre-20 version for quite a while) now the experimental design is already filled out for Analyst. This is assuming you filled in the box in FragPipe. Super cool, right?
