STRAP for GO Annotation
STRAP, the Software Tool for Rapid Annotation of Proteins, saves you time by automatically annotating a protein list with information that helps you meaningfully interpret your mass spectrometry data.
Downloads
You can download the program installer here. The STRAP installer comes with a tutorial to get you started. The C# source code for STRAP is available from our SourceForge project page.
Requirements
STRAP requires Windows XP or higher with at least version 3.5 of the Microsoft .NET Framework installed.
Input
STRAP takes protein lists as input, in the form of plain text files, protXML files (usually from the TPP), or Dat files from MASCOT search results.
Output
STRAP generates protein annotation tables, and a variety of GO charts to aid individual and differential analysis of proteomics data, as shown below. It downloads information from mainly the Uniprot and EBI QuickGO databases.
A protein annotation table for one sample
GO annotation pie chart for one sample
GO annotation bar chart comparing three samples
More Information
STRAP was presented at the 57th ASMS conference on Mass Spectrometry & Allied Topics (May 31-June 4, 2009) as poster number WPB 049. For more information on running STRAP, please refer to the paper or the tutorial that is packaged with the installer.
