Contaminants annotation

[MarST07]

Hello Vadim,

I thank you for the great tool DIA-NN! I am very impressed of these great results and the easy Output of the data, as well as the possibility to process the data in R.
I have one question regarding contaminant annotation of the proteins in the proteingroups text file. Is it possible to implement these information out of the MaxQuant Contaminant database?

Kind Regards,
Stella

Hi Stella,

Sorry, not familiar with MaxQuant. DIA-NN will annotate things in whatever way they are annotated in the FASTA database(s) you supply to it. So all you need to do is to supply a contaminant FASTA (in addition to the main database) with whatever annotaions you like.

Best,
Vadim
