IDRipper

IDRipper splits the protein/peptide identifications of an idXML file into several idXML files according their annotated file origin.

potential predecessor tools → IDRipper→ potential successor tools
IDFilter IDMapper

Example

Assuming each peptide identification in a given idXML file is annotated with its file origin (e.g. IDRipper_test.idXML) :

<userParam type="string" name="file_origin" value="IDMerger1_test.idXML"/> or
<userParam type="string" name="file_origin" value="IDMerger2_test.idXML"/>

Obviously the file contains protein/peptide identifications of IDMerger1_test.idXML and IDMerger2_test.idXML.

Calling IDRipper with an input file (here: -in IDRipper_test.idXML) and an output directory (via out) will result in two idXML files stored in the specified directory and named according to their file origin.

In theory, merging files with IDMerger and splitting the resulting file with IDRipper will result in the original input files.

NOTE: The meta value "file_origin" is removed by the IDSplitter!

Note
Currently mzIdentML (mzid) is not directly supported as an input/output format of this tool. Convert mzid files to/from idXML using IDFileConverter if necessary.
