A cross-platform Graphical User Interface (GUI) for running MSFragger and Philosopher - powered pipeline for comprehensive analysis of shotgun proteomics data
FragPipe is a Java Graphical User Interface (GUI) for a suite of computational tools enabling comprehensive analysis of mass spectrometry-based proteomics data. It is powered by MSFragger - an ultrafast proteomic search engine suitable for both conventional and "open" (wide precursor mass tolerance) peptide identification. FragPipe includes the Philosopher toolkit for downstream post-processing of MSFragger search results (PeptideProphet, iProphet, ProteinProphet), FDR filtering, label-based quantification, and multi-experiment summary report generation. Crystal-C and PTM-Shepherd are included to aid interpretation of open search results. Also included in FragPipe binary are TMT-Integrator for TMT/iTRAQ isobaric labeling-based quantification, IonQuant for label-free quantification with FDR-controlled match-between-run (MBR) functionality, spectral library building with EasyPQP, and MSFragger-DIA and DIA-Umpire SE modules for direct analysis of data independent acquisition (DIA) data.

TMT/iTRAQ quantification
The table below shows the compatibility of FragPipe workflow components with different spectral file formats.
Bruker .d indicates ddaPASEF files from timsTOF, other Bruker .d files should be converted to .mzML. Please also note that timsTOF data requires Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 in Windows. If you see an error saying cannot find Bruker native library, please try to install the Visual C++ redistibutable.
Workflow Step | .mzML | Thermo (.raw) | Bruker (.d) | .mgf |
---|---|---|---|---|
MSFragger search | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
MSFragger-DIA | ✔ | ✔ | ||
Label-free quantification | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | |
SILAC/dimethyl quantification | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | |
TMT/iTRAQ quantification | ✔ | ✔ | ||
Crystal-C artifact removal | ✔ | ✔ | ||
PTMProphet localization | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | |
PTM-Shepherd summarization | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | |
DIA-Umpire signal extraction | ✔ | ✔ | ||
Spectral library generation | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
DIA-NN quantification | ✔ | ✔* | ✔ |
DIA data acquired with overlapping/staggered windows must be converted to mzML with demultiplexing. Quantification from Thermo .raw files with DIA-NN requires installation of Thermo MS File Reader, see the DIA-NN documentation for details.
Please note TMT/iTRAQ quantification from Thermo .raw files will take longer than from .mzML files.
Complete MSFragger documentation can be found on the MSFragger wiki. For documentation on the Philosopher toolkit see the Philosopher wiki.

Build:
You don't need to have Gradle installed, the Gradle wrapper included in this repository will be used. From the root directory of the repository issue the following commands:
cd ./MSFragger-GUI
./gradlew makeReleaseZipNoJre
or use this version to build with Java Runtime (for Windows only):
cd ./MSFragger-GUI
./gradlew makeReleaseZipWithJre
The .zip output will be in MSFragger-GUI/build/github-release
