Pipeline Parameters

The LabKey Server data pipeline adds a set of parameters specific to the web site. These parameters are defined on the pipeline group. Most of these are set in the tandem.xml by the Search MS2 Data form, and will be overwritten if specified separately in the XML section of this form.

Parameter Description

pipeline, database

The path to the FASTA sequence file to search. Sequence Database field.
pipeline, protocol name The name of the search protocol defined for a data file or set of files. Protocol Name field.
pipeline, protocol description The description for the search protocol. Protocol Description field.

pipeline, email address

Email address to notify of successful completion, or of processing errors. Automatically set to the email of the user submitting the form.

pipeline, load folder The project folder in the web site with which the search is to be associated. Automatically set to the folder from which the search form is submitted.
pipeline, load spectra Prevents LabKey Server from loading spectra data into the database. Using this parameter can significantly improve MS2 run load time. If the mzXML file is still available, LabKey Server will load the spectra directly from the file when viewing peptide details. For example:
  • <note label="pipeline, load spectra" type="input">no</note>
Values are yes and no.
pipeline, data type

Flag for determining how spectrum files are searched, processed and imported.  The allowed (case insensitive) values are:

  • samples - Each spectrum data file is processed separately and imported as a MS2 Run into LabKey Server. (default)
  • fractions - Spectrum files are searched separately, then combined for further processing and imported together as a single MS2 Run into LabKey Server. Often used for MudPIT-style data.
  • both - All processing for both samples and fractions, both a MS2 Run per spectrum file as well as a combined MS2 Run are created

PeptideProphet and ProteinProphet Parameters

The LabKey data pipeline supports a set of parameters for controlling the PeptideProphet and ProteinProphet tools run after the peptide search. These parameters are defined on the pipeline prophet group.

Parameter Description

pipeline prophet, min probability

The minimum PeptideProphet probability to include in the pepXML file (default - 0.05). For example:

  • <note type="input" label="pipeline prophet, min probability">0.7</note>
pipeline prophet, min protein probability

The minimum ProteinProphet probability to include in the protXML file (default - 0.05). For example:

  • <note type="input" label="pipeline prophet, min protein probability">0.7</note>
pipeline prophet, decoy tag The tag used to detect decoy hits with a computed probability based on the model learned. Passed to xinteract as the 'd' argument
pipeline prophet, use hydrophobicity If set to "yes", use hydrophobicity / retention time information in PeptideProphet. Passed to xinteract as the 'R' argument
pipeline prophet, use pI

If set to "yes", use pI information in PeptideProphet. Passed to xinteract as the 'I'argument

pipeline prophet, accurate mass If set to "yes", use accurate mass binning in PeptideProphet. Passed to xinteract as the 'A' argument
pipeline prophet, allow multiple instruments If set to "yes", emit a warning instead of exit with error if instrument types between runs is different. Passed to xinteract as the 'w' argument
pipeline prophet, peptide extra iterations If set, the number of extra PeptideProphet iterations. Defaults to 20.
pipeline, import prophet results If set to "false", do not import PeptideProphet or ProteinProphet results after the search. Defaults to "true".

Pipeline Quantitation Parameters

The LabKey data pipeline supports a set of parameters for running quantitation analysis tools following the peptide search. These parameters are defined on the pipeline quantitation group:

Parameter Description

pipeline quantitation, algorithm

This parameter must be set to run quantitation. Supported algorithms are xpress, q3, and libra.

pipeline quantitation, residue label mass

The format is the same as X! Tandem's residue, modification mass. There is no default value. For example:

  • <note label="pipeline quantitation, residue label mass" type="input">9.0@C</note>
pipeline quantitation, mass tolerance The default value is 1.0 daltons.
pipeline quantitation, mass tolerance units The default value is "Daltons"; other options are not yet implemented.
pipeline quantitation, fix Possible values "heavy" or "light".
pipeline quantitation, fix elution reference Possible values "start" or "peak". The default value is "start".
pipeline quantitation, fix elution difference A positive or negative number.
pipeline quantitation, metabolic search type Possible values are "normal" or "heavy".
pipeline quantitation, q3 compat If the value is "yes", passes the --compat argument when running Q3. Defaults to "no".
pipeline quantitation, libra config name Name of Libra configuration file. LabKey Server supports up to 8 channels. Must be available on server's file system in <File Root>/.labkey/protocols/libra. Example file.
pipeline quantitation, libra normalization channel Libra normalization channel. Should be a number (integer) from 1-8.

ProteoWizard msconvert Parameters

LabKey Server can be configured to use ProteoWizard's msconvert tool to convert from instrument vendor binary file formats to mzXML.

Parameter Description

pipeline msconvert, conversion bits

Number of bits of precision to use when converting spectra to mzXML. Possible values are "32" or "64". Defaults to not specifying a bit depth, leaving it to the msconvert default (64).

pipeline msconvert, mz conversion bits

Number of bits of precision to use for encoding m/z values. Possible values are "32" or "64". Defaults to not specifying a bit depth, leaving it to the msconvert default (64).
pipeline msconvert, intensity conversion bits Number of bits of precision to use for encoding intensity values. Possible values are "32" or "64". Defaults to not specifying a bit depth, leaving it to the msconvert default (32).
pipeline msconvert, index Pass-through parameters to control --filter arguments to msconvert.
pipeline msconvert, precursorRecalculation
pipeline msconvert, precursorRefine
pipeline msconvert, peakPicking
pipeline msconvert, scanNumber
pipeline msconvert, scanEvent
pipeline msconvert, scanTime
pipeline msconvert, sortByScanTime
pipeline msconvert, stripIT
pipeline msconvert, msLevel
pipeline msconvert, metadataFixer
pipeline msconvert, titleMaker
pipeline msconvert, threshold
pipeline msconvert, mzWindow
pipeline msconvert, mzPrecursors
pipeline msconvert, defaultArrayLength
pipeline msconvert, chargeStatePredictor
pipeline msconvert, activation

ProteoWizard mspicture Parameters

LabKey Server can be configured to use ProteoWizard's mspicture tool to generate images from MS data files.

Parameter Description

pipeline mspicture, enable

Calls mspicture as part of the workflow and associates the resulting images with the rest of the run. For example:
  • <note label="pipeline mspicture, enable" type="input">true</note>
