PEAKS is a software program for tandem mass spectrometry designed for peptide sequencing, protein identification and quantification.

Description

PEAKS is commonly used for search engine protein identification (Protein ID), de novo sequencing (both automated and manual), peptide sequence tag based searching (SPIDER)[citation needed] and quantification (ICAT, iTRAQ, SILAC, Label Free, etc).

PEAKS provides a complete sequence for each peptide, confidence scores on individual amino acid assignments, simple reporting for high-throughput analysis, amongst other information.

The software has the ability to compare results. PEAKS (inChorus) will cross check test results automatically with other protein ID search engines, like Sequest, OMSSA, X!Tandem and Mascot. This approach guards against false positive peptide assignments.

The performance of many mass spectrometry software, including PEAKS, can be observed in the 2011 iPRG study.
