Introduction
MPA Portable is a light-weight and stand-alone software for the protein identification and in-depth analysis of metaproteomics (and also proteomics) data. The software currently supports the database search engines Comet, MS-GF+ and X!Tandem taking MGF spectrum files as input. User-provided FASTA databases (preferably downloaded from UniProtKB) are formatted automatically.
MPA Portable can be run directly on any desktop PC or laptop and no separate installation is needed: just double-click the provided JAR file or use the provided batch file (see below on this page).
The software is developed in the Java programming language and uses a neo4j graph database back-end for flexible and user-defined data querying of proteomics results.
