| Short Description | MaSS-Simulator: A Highly Configurable Simulator for Generating MS/MS Datasets for Benchmarking of Proteomics Algorithms |
| Long Description | MaSS-Simulator offers many configuration options to allow the user a great degree of control over the test datasets, which can enable rigorous and large- scale testing of any proteomics algorithm. MaSS-Simulator is assessed by comparing its performance against experimentally generated spectra and spectra obtained from NIST collections of spectral library. The results show that MaSS-Simulator generated spectra match closely with real-spectra and have a relative-error distribution centered around 25%. In contrast, the theoretical spectra for same peptides have relative-error distribution centered around 150%. MaSS-Simulator will enable developers to specifically highlight the capabilities of their algorithms and provide a strong proof of any pitfalls they might face. Source code, executables, and a user manual for MaSS-Simulator can be downloaded from https://github.com/pcdslab/MaSS-Simulator. |
