TANDEM: matching proteins with tandem mass spectra

Key Points

• Introduce TANDEM, an open-source software tool designed to identify proteins and peptides by matching them against tandem mass spectra.
• Engineered cross-platform software implementation compatible with Windows, Linux, and Macintosh OSX operating systems.
• Released complete source code and pre-compiled executables under the open-source Artistic License.
• Provides an open-source computational platform for identifying protein sequences from tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data.
• Ensures broad accessibility for proteomics pipelines through freely available multi-platform source code and binaries.
