Introduction
wombat-p pipelines is a bioinformatics analysis pipeline that bundles different workflow for the analysis of label-free proteomics data with the purpose of comparison and benchmarking. It allows using files from the proteomics metadata standard SDRF.
The pipeline is built using Nextflow, a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It uses Docker/Singularity containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible. The Nextflow DSL2 implementation of this pipeline uses one container per process which makes it much easier to maintain and update software dependencies. We used one of the nf-core templates.
Pipeline summary
This work contains four major different workflows for the analysis or label-free proteomics data, originating from LC-MS experiments.
- MaxQuant + NormalyzerDE
- SearchGui + Proline + PolySTest
- Compomics tools + FlashLFQ + MSqRob
- Tools from the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline + ROTS
Initialization and parameterization of the workflows is based on tools from the SDRF pipelines, the ThermoRawFileParser with our own contributions and additional programs from the wombat-p organizaion [https://github.com/wombat-p/Utilities] as well as our fork. This includes setting a generalized set of data analysis parameters and the calculation of a multiple benchmarks.
