MS-based protein identification is an important part of both gel-based and gel-free proteome studies. The MASCOT search engine (http://www.matrixscience.com) provides one of the most popular automated algorithms for this task. Here we present an open-source software library written in Java that parses raw MASCOT results into an easily accessible and fully functional object model (http://genesis.ugent.be/MascotDatfile). Several scripts based on this library are provided as examples, allowing direct automation of important routine tasks involved in processing peptide identifications.
