Discover how to transform proteomics mass spectrometry data into insights
Comprehensive, extensible, and intelligent platform
Thermo Scientific Proteome Discoverer software is the ultimate toolbox for protein research scientists, enabling a full suite of customizable data analysis workflows for complex acquisition methods. Manage your datasets for statistical analyses, biological annotation, and data interpretation and simplify the identification and quantification of proteins in complex biological samples for a wide range of proteomics workflows. The software streamlines all major proteomics needs including peptide and protein identification, PTM analysis, isobaric mass tagging, and label-free quantitation (LFQ) from data-independent (DIA), data-dependent (DDA), and wide window (WWA) acquisitions. Achieve your goals with analysis of glycopeptides, top-down proteomics, proteoform analysis, and MS-based structural biology of chemical cross-linking XL-MS, all under the same unifying, versatile and community-enhanced protein informatics system. Proteome Discoverer software delivers comprehensive data analyses through supporting multiple database search algorithms and dissociation techniques within the same workflow.
Go beyond searching to discovering, with intelligent INFERYS™ Rescoring and the novel CHIMERYS™ intelligent search algorithm by MSAID. These innovative approaches substantially increase the identification rate, protein coverage, PTMs, and the number of unique peptide identifications enabling scientists to generate more biological insights from their existing and newly acquired data. CHIMERYS 2.0 also improves protein quantitation capabilities for isobaric mass tags as well as LFQ with DIA, DDA, and WWA acquisitions.
