Welcome to the systeMHC wiki!

Brief Description of workflow:

  • input are mzXML files from Pride which where analyzed as part of the eLife paper. Priority = MHC class I peptides (not class II from Mtb mzXML files).
  • Annotation of mzXML files including IEDB metadata
  • 2-3 search engines: comet, myrimatch, (msgf+) for identification of MHC peptides from centroided MS/MS data.
  • TPP - peptide prophet and iprophet for rescoring and FDR estimation
  • NetMHCcons 1.1 for filtering/verification and annotation of identified peptides
  • recomputation of the FDR for verified peptides
  • spectrast for swath library creation
  • Data visualization (heat map (see figure 2 in eLife) and distribution of predicted HLA binding affinities (see Figure 2—figure supplement 4 and Figure 2—figure supplement 5; other visualization tools are optional)
  • Create an R/Bioconductor package and an open source graphical user interface
  • Validation using a new HLA peptidomics dataset (Buffy samples acquired in Tübingen; data stored in OpenBis)
  • Build the database, design website and implementation (www.systemhcatlas.org)
  • Publication

The workflow is implemented using the applicake plumbing toolkiet

Open questions:

  • how does the output of the workflow looks like:
    • meta information about the sample
    • annotation of the identified peptides

Sample input and output

install required python packages

pip install Uniprot
pip install lxml
pip install ruffus
pip install pandas

getting all the required code

sudo apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/systemhc/systemhc
git clone https://github.com/SysteMHC/SysteMHC_Binaries
git clone https://github.com/SysteMHC/SysteMHC_Data
git clone https://github.com/applicake-tools/applicake2
git clone https://github.com/applicake-tools/searchcake
git clone https://github.com/applicake-tools/searchcake_binaries

To run the application first, change into the installation directory. On the systemhc server, it is ~/prog change into

~prog/systemhc
source setup.sh

This sets two variables:

export SYSTEMHC=$HOME/prog
export LC_ALL=C

To run the workflow go to:

/mnt/Systemhc/Data/version3
python ~/prog/searchcake2/samples/pepidentWFapp.py
