The MASCOT Magnetometer

Informatics For Protein Identification by Tandem Mass Spectrometry; Focused on Two Most-widely Applied Algorithms, Mascot and SEQUEST

Mass spectrometry(MS) is widely applied for high throughput proteomics analysis. When large-scale proteome analysis experiments are performed, it generates massive amount of data. To search these proteomics data against protein databases, fully automated database search algorithms, such as Mascot and SEQUEST are routinely employed. At present, it is critical to reduce false positives and false ...

MASCOT: Manycast Architecture for Service-Oriented Tactical Applications

In this paper we present our work on the Manycast Architecture for Service-Oriented Tactical Operations, or MASCOT, a project between the University of Masschusetts, Dartmouth and the United States Marine Corps (USMC). MASCOT is a service that can be used by the Combat Operation Centers (COCs) to efficiently allocate tactical field resources given a task request, or mission, and set of constrai...

An Architectural Infrastructure and Topological Optimization for End System Multicast

A Heuristic method for assigning a false-discovery rate for protein identifications from Mascot database search results.

MS/MS and database searching has emerged as a valuable technology for rapidly analyzing protein expression, localization, and post-translational modifications. The probability-based search engine Mascot has found widespread use as a tool to correlate tandem mass spectra with peptides in a sequence database. Although the Mascot scoring algorithm provides a probability-based model for peptide ide...
