Abstract

Direct infusion shotgun proteome analysis (DISPA) is a new paradigm for expedited mass spectrometry-based proteomics, but the original data analysis workflow was onerous. Here, we introduce CsoDIAq, a user-friendly software package for the identification and quantification of peptides and proteins from DISPA data. In addition to establishing a complete and automated analysis workflow with a graphical user interface, CsoDIAq introduces algorithmic concepts to spectrum-spectrum matching to improve peptide identification speed and sensitivity. These include spectra pooling to reduce search time complexity and a new spectrum-spectrum match score called match count and cosine, which improves target discrimination in a target-decoy analysis. Fragment mass tolerance correction also increased the number of peptide identifications. Finally, we adapt CsoDIAq to standard LC-MS DIA and show that it outperforms other spectrum-spectrum matching software.
