PRIDE-Mod Library

PRIDE Modification library (PRIDE-Mod) is a Java API to handle post-translational modifications (PTMs) in proteomics experiments. The library provide a common representation between different PTMs databases such as UNIMOD , PSI-MOD and the PRIDE Modification Slim Ontology.

It also provide a the corresponding parsers for UNIMOD and PSI-MOD databases. It can be use to retrieve an specific modification using Accessions, Amino Acids, Delta Masses (monoisotopic or average).

How to use pride-mod

Using pride-mod

Here we will show you how to use the PRIDE-Mod library:

• How to retrieve all modifications in PSI-Mod and UNIMOD with 'phospho' pattern in the Description:

   ModReader modReader = ModReader.getInstance();
  List<PTM> ptms = modReader.getPTMListByPatternDescription("Phospho");
  assertTrue("Number of PTMs with Term 'Phospho' in name:", ptms.size() == 102);

• Retrieve the the UNIMOD modification with Accession 1:

   File inputFile = new File("unimoddatabase.xml");
   unimodDataAccessController = new UnimodDataAccessController(inputFile);
   PTM ptm = unimodDataAccessController.getPTMbyAccession("UNIMOD:1");
   assertTrue("Difference mass for Average mass is:", ptm.getAveDeltaMass() == 42.0367);
