The peptide hits and protein hits of the input files will be written into the single output file. In general, the number of idXML files that can be merged into one file is not limited.
If an additional file is given through the add_to
parameter, identifications from the main inputs (in
) are added to that file, but only for those peptide sequences that were not already present. Only the best peptide hit per identification (MS2 spectrum) is taken into account; peptide identifications and their corresponding protein identifications are transferred.
Alternatively, with the pepxml_protxml
option, results from corresponding PeptideProphet and ProteinProphet runs can be combined. In this case, exactly two idXML files are expected as input: one containing data from a pepXML file, and the other containing data from a protXML file that was created based on the pepXML (meaningful results can only be obtained for matching files!). pepXML or protXML can be converted to idXML with the IDFileConverter tool.
