The software tool MAPSP allows the combinatorial prediction of novel short peptides such as hormones with common sequence features. In addition, it assists in de novo sequencing in general. The tool was designed for use in conjunction with the analytical identification method of mass spectrometry (MS) and it can considerably speed-up the analysis of unknowns.
