Sage-N Research,
Inc., the world leader in
computational proteomics announced today a new API toolkit for
developers of proteomics data analysis software. The toolkit will enable
software developers to add the power and sensitivity of SORCERER analyses to
their existing software packages, expanding the utility of the SORCERER
platform for high-throughput proteomics laboratories.
The SORCERER is a customized platform that can be used by researchers studying , diseases like cancer and stem
cell research. It combines SORCERER Enterprise
4.0 software with a range of additional proprietary post-processing tools such
as ETD analysis, ASCORE, MUSE and CENSUS. A key feature of the SORCERER
platform is SEQUEST
3G that was developed in partnership with
Professor John R. Yates III of the Scripps Research. The API
toolkit allows other applications,
either running on the SORCERER platform or accessing it across the network from
another computer, to specify and submit SEQUEST
3G searches, to track and control submitted searches and to
retrieve hits and scores. SEQUEST
3G is Sage-N Research's next-generation
evolution of the original SEQUEST algorithm for MS-MS protein identification,
with enhanced sensitivity for PTM analysis.
The new toolkit
comprises: - a web service API
("Application Programming Interface") based on XML data formats and accessible
across a network
- a cross-platform Client
Library to access the API on Windows®, Linux® and other operating systems
- a Developer's Toolkit
including test beds, documentation and other resources
"Productivity in today's proteomic labs
demands a set of tools which can be integrated together, which can understand
each other's data formats and which can deal efficiently and automatically with
ever-increasing volumes of data," says James Candlin, V.P. of Proteomics
Solutions at Sage-N Research. "With SORCERER's modular architecture and with
standards-based, OS-neutral interfaces as embodied in our new API, we are
developing SORCERER into a versatile, powerful platform to meet that
productivity need."
The toolkit has been
designed and built in collaboration with Sage-N Research's partners and is
available immediately for application integration. Following the initial
roll-out to partners, it will be made available to other third party
application developers by arrangement, and it will also be included in the SORCERER
platform itself for customers to use in their own workflows.
