About PINT

PINT (Proteomics INTegrator) is an online tool, designed and implemented for serving as local repository of proteomics experiments.

Final Proteomics results are often uploaded to public repositories in order to share the data with the scientific community. However, although the data remains accessible and can be downloaded, is usually not easy to search particular information across a single or multiple datasets. It is also very common to perform custom data analysis steps as part of the whole data analysis workflow, and the results are rarely reported as commonly used proteomics data formats, which dificultes the data reusability.

PINT, is able to import Proteomics final results from different proteomics data files, but also from any custom Excel file. That is done by a sophisticated data import graphical interface in which the user can define the experimental design, upload the data files, and give to the data the required semantic information in order to have a comprehensive dataset that can be stored in the database.

Once the data is stored, the data can be accessible through the web, and external proteomics annotations are automatically incorporated and mapped to the actual proteins and peptides of the dataset.

Additionally, a sophisticated and proteomics-specific designed data query system allows the user to query over specific features in a particular dataset, or across different datasets. For more information about how to query the data go to How to query page.
