Set this parameter to your e-mail address to get a summary e-mail with details of the run sent to you when the workflow exits. If set in your user config file (~/.nextflow/config
) then you don't need to specify this on the command line for every run.
MultiQC report title. Printed as page header, used for filename if not otherwise specified.
string
Input FASTA protein database
string
.fasta$
If you have no genome reference available, the pipeline can build one using a FASTA file. This requires additional time and resources, so it's better to use a pre-build index if possible.
Set depending on whether variants should be translated to proteins and included into your fasta for database search.
boolean
Set depending on whether own decoy database should be used
boolean
If you want to use your own decoys, you can specify a dataset that includes decoy sequences. However, each database entry should keep the prefix 'DECOY_'.
One should consider though that this option will then prevent to append variants to the database and if not using reversed decoys the subset refinement FDR option will not work.

For High-Resolution instruments a precursor mass tolerance value of 5ppm is recommended. (eg. 5)
Specify the fragment bin offset used for the comet database search.

string
^\S+\.tsv$
| Sample | VCF_FileName |
| -------------| :---------------------:|
| MM15_Melanom | data/MM15_variants.vcf |
| MM17_Melanom | data/MM17_variants.vcf |
Specify the level at which the false discovery rate should be computed.
string
Specify the false discovery rate threshold at which peptide hits should be selected.
number
0.01
Set if MHCquant should be run in SubsetFDR mode
boolean
SubsetFDR makes use of binding predictions applying the tool mhcflurry to subset all PSMs not passing the q-value threshold. If specified the FDR will be refined using Percolator on the subset of predicted binders among all PSMs resulting in an increased identification rate. (Please be aware that this option is only available for MHC class I data of alleles that are supported by mhcflurry)
Affinity threshold (nM) used to define binders for PSM subset selection in the FDR refinement procedure
