Semi-automatic tool to describe, store and compare proteomics experiments based on MIAPE compliant reports

Proteomics. 2010 Mar;10(6):1256-60. doi: 10.1002/pmic.200900367.

Abstract

The Human Proteome Organization's Proteomics Standards Initiative aims to develop new standards for data representation and exchange. The Proteomics Standards Initiative has defined the Minimum Information About a Proteomics Experiment (MIAPE) guidelines that specify the information that should be reported with a published experiment. With the aim of promoting the implementation of standard reporting guidelines, we have developed a web tool that helps to generate and store MIAPE compliant reports describing gel electrophoresis and MS-based experiments. The tool can be used in the reviewing phase of the proteomics publication process and can facilitate data interpretation through the comparison of related studies.
