Overview

Visualize is a workstation based tool that allows the user to visualize and analyze proteomics data in the .ez2 format produced by ViPDAC (Virtual Proteomics Data Analysis Cluster), the MAPW (MCW Automated Proteomics Workflow) or the Epitomize program.  In addition to being able to view the protein, peptide and spectral data, the user can carry out analysis of modifications, cleavage sites, amino acids.  Protein lists can be annotated using included databases (GO, KEGG, serum, membrane and mitochondrial proteins) as well as using user generated lists.  Results from multiple .ez2 files can be combined both between experiments and for the same experiment from searches using different parameters or algorithms. Visualize can also compare results from multiple files and quantitate using either spectral counting or SILAC using the SPeCtRA method.   Results can be exported in a number of different formats including a journal report format.
