mwfilter |
Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
mwfilter removes unwanted (noisy) data from mass spectrometry output in proteomics. It reads an input file with a list of experimental molecular weights and writes the same data to an output file but with unwanted (noisy) data removed, at a specified ppm tolerance. Optionally the deleted molecular weights are shown. It removes those molecular weights which are:
The last two operations can be done as most peaks are reported in both modified and unmodified forms. Removal of modified peaks aids in database searching for protein identification.

The input file is a simple list of the experimental molecular weights.
There should be one weight per line.
Comments in the data file start with a '#' character in the first column.
Blank lines are ignored.

EMBOSS data files are distributed with the application and stored in the standard EMBOSS data directory, which is defined by the EMBOSS environment variable EMBOSS_DATA.
To see the available EMBOSS data files, run:
% embossdata -showall
To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your current directory for you to inspect or modify, run:
% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat
Users can provide their own data files in their own directories. Project specific files can be put in the current directory, or for tidier directory listings in a subdirectory called ".embossdata". Files for all EMBOSS runs can be put in the user's home directory, or again in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".
The directories are searched in the following order:
| Program name | Description |
|---|---|
| backtranambig | Back-translate a protein sequence to ambiguous nucleotide sequence |
| backtranseq | Back-translate a protein sequence to a nucleotide sequence |
| compseq | Calculate the composition of unique words in sequences |
| emowse | Search protein sequences by digest fragment molecular weight |
| freak | Generate residue/base frequency table or plot |
| mwcontam | Find weights common to multiple molecular weights files |
| oddcomp | Identify proteins with specified sequence word composition |
| pepdigest | Reports on protein proteolytic enzyme or reagent cleavage sites |
| pepinfo | Plot amino acid properties of a protein sequence in parallel |
| pepstats | Calculates statistics of protein properties |
| wordcount | Count and extract unique words in molecular sequence(s) |
