BICEPS - Error-Tolerant Peptide Identification
BY Renard, B Xu, M Kirchner, A Tzur, H Soblik, NW Brattig, H Steen, FA Hamprecht,
BICEPS is an open source tool for the error-tolerant identification of peptides based on a statistical regularization scheme. It balances possible improvements in peptide-spectrum-matches by allowing substitutions against the increased risk of false positives. BICEPS can identify peptides containing two or more substitutions as occuring e.g. in cross-species searches.
