How to add diagnostic ion and how to check the results #1651
Comments
Hi, To view which PSMs are found with various diagnostic/remainder ions, use the Diagnostic Feature Extraction section on the PTMs tab and enter the same masses there. It will generate a "diagnosticIons.tsv" file in the ptm-shepherd-output folder with a report of all PSMs and the intensities of all diagnostic/remainder ions you specified for each one. However, you will have to change Best, |
Hi Yue,
The mass tolerance for diagnostic ion detection is the same as the "Fragment mass tolerance (ppm)" setting in the PTM Profiling section of the PTMs tab. You can set this to whatever you like, but need to make sure that you provide an accurate enough mass to capture an ion within the tolerance (e.g., the ion 100.25 would not be captured with 20ppm tolerance if you provide the mass just as 100).
If you have set "Report mass diff as a variable mod" in the MSFragger settings, the modified peptides will have modifications reported in the Best, |
Thanks Dan! |
Delta mass is the difference between observed and calculated peptide mass, which for a mass offset search is the mass of the mass offset (and the mass error and isotope error, if applicable). Best, |
Sounds good. So when we set the mass offset in the advanced options of MSFragger, it is for diagnostic ion or for the modification tag on citrullinated peptides. I am kind of confused. And if it is the mass offset for diagnostic ion, since we have two diagnostic ion, can I set two? |
The mass offset is the modification itself, whereas the diagnostic ion is for determining which spectra to search for that modification. Please see our documentation or the MSFragger labile paper for further details. There is no limit to the number of diagnostic ions you can provide. Best, |
Hi Dan, |
From the log: It looks like you did not specify any mass offsets in the search settings for MSFragger. Double check the parameters on the MSFragger tab if you want to do a mass offset search (which is needed if you want to use diagnostic ions). Alternatively, if you in fact want to do a closed search, load the default workflow and modify from there. Best, |
hi Dan, I just want to try new variable modification. So I chose default. But it still doesn't work. Can you help me check it? Thanks, |
From the log:
If you follow this instruction (change "ALL" to "all"), it will resolve the issue. Best, |
Hi I change "ALL" to "all", but it stop again. I have no idea. Can you help me check again? |
This is an issue with MSBooster - for a resolution, please submit it as a new issue since it is not related to the rest of this ticket. However, I recommend disabling MSBooster for this search because the spectrum and retention time predictions for your modified peptides are not likely to be good (the modification is not in the training data), and it may result in reduced identification of modified peptides compared to standard scoring. Best, |
Hi Yue, I agree with Dan that MSBooster may not help much with citrullinated peptides. If you wish to test, please download FragPipe v22, which has un updated MSBooster that resolves this error. Best, |
Hi I disabled MSBooster, but it stops again. Could you please help me check it again? Thanks, |
It was due to version incompatibility. Please upgrade FragPipe to 22.0. Best, Fengchao |
All PSMs are shown in the diagnosticIons.tsv file for reference, but you can filter on the "Mass Shift" column to only show those with mass shifts of 324, i.e., citrullinated peptides. Columns starting with "ox_" indicate a diagnostic ion at the given m/z value, and report the relative intensity. The Deltascore and Localization columns for a given mass are for the remainder fragment ions, indicating the increase in hyperscore when considering the remainder ion and best position(s) in the peptide based on the fragment ion(s) found, respectively.

- Describe the issue or question:
Hi I want to search the diagnostic ion from my samples. My sample is tag-labelled citrullinated peptide. Compared to the arginine, the variable modification is 324.1511. But we noticed there were some diagnostic ions after fragment. The m/z of diagnostic ion is around 197.12. So I set the following search parameters.
mass offset: 0/324.15
diagnostic fragment: 197.12
remaining fragment: 127.0311
I'm not sure if this setting is correct.
And after running, how to check which peptide including the diagnostic ions?
