In mooredf22/protlocassign0p1p1: Compute constrained proportional assignments for fractionated protein abundance

protlocassign: A method for proportionally assigning protein residence among subcellular organelles

Introduction

This package implements constrained proportional assignment to assign proteins proportionately to their subcellular organelle residences. It uses quantitative mass spectrometry data from subcellular fractionation experiments to create profiles describing the distribution of proteins and peptides across centrifugation fractions. The package identifies outlier spectra and computes weighted means across peptides using random effects models. Then, using reference proteins that reside in single compartments, it estimates the distribution of each protein across these compartments by obtaining optimal mixtures of the reference profiles.

Installation

Start by installing the devtools package from CRAN, by typing

install.packages("devtools")

Then install the protlocassign package by typing

devtools::install_github("mooredf22/protlocassign")
library(protlocassign)

This will make the programs and datasets available.Instructions for use of the package are in the vignette.
