by Brian | 14th July 2009

There were a few mild logic errors with version 1 of MSMSFit (which I pronounce as “Miss Misfit”). These errors were not weighty enough to skew the results for my trials with E. coli, but were augmented to the point of problematic for the human genome. Long, boring story short, I have worked out at [...] Read More

MSMSFit: A method for comparing MSMS data to amino acid sequences

by Brian | 9th July 2009

Fitting MSMS data to a proposed acid sequence is a bit messy. One has to account for potential ion types as well as data errors. The image above depicts sample MSMS data (top half) along side the amino acid from which it is derived (bottom half, with multiple lines for different ions). However, when one [...] Read More

Working from home (waiting for plumber). Had to quickly drop by lab to pick up source files and parameters list. Future Idea: need to make “getting started with GFS” intro guide. Success! Found that if we create a temp variable to store acidArrayAsInts[i] for comparisons then we save 2% to 3% of time on findLongestCommonSubstring Read More
