The ProteoToul team is involved in the development of several bioinformatics tools for bottom-up and top-down mass spectrometry data analysis:

  • Proline (http://www.profiproteomics.fr/proline) [1]: a new software suite for the processing of bottom-up datasets. It offers efficient and competitive performance for the analysis of label-free DDA datasets (see the related publication [1] for a comparison with MaxQuant). Proline is developed through a collaborative project of the French proteomics infrastructure (ProFI).
  • HDX-Viewer [2]: a simple web interface for the visualization of results obtained from “Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange” (HDX) experiments.
  • VisioProt-MS [3]: a graphical interface to visualize and analyze intact protein and top-down proteomics data.

Demo versions of these tools are available from the “Mass Tools” portal (https://masstools.ipbs.fr) hosted by the IPBS.

The source codes of these projects are available from their respective Github repositories:
