Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of identifying peptides and proteins from mass spectrometry data using multiple search engines, wherein: a) the scores calculated on each engine are modeled; b) the presence of matching parameters is included, c) the distribution of meta-scores using distribution functions is modeled, d) scores of peptide and precursor protein are built. Among the main advantages of the invention it is worth mentioning its flexibility to be applied to an arbitrary number of engines, the use of matching parameters that add additional information not available with a single engine, the increase in the number of peptides-proteins identified or its versatility to incorporate other additional sources of information, depending on the type of experiment being examined.
