Getting started

Dependencies

DART-ID requires Python = 3.7.6 (64-bit - miniconda distribution recommended), and has been tested on Windows 8 / OSX Mojave 10.14 / Centos 7 / Ubuntu 14.04.

Installation

DART-ID is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip.

pip install dart-id

Usage

DART-ID requires a YAML-formatted configuration file to run. An example annotated config file can be found in example/config_annotated.yaml. You can specify input files and the output folder on the command line, if that's what you prefer.

View the command-line arguments anytime by running: dart_id -h.

usage: dart_id [-h] [-i INPUT [INPUT ...]] [-o OUTPUT] [-v] [--version] -c
                 CONFIG_FILE

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUT [INPUT ...], --input INPUT [INPUT ...]
                        Input file(s) from search engine output (e.g.,
                        MaxQuant evidence.txt). Not required if input files
                        are specified in the config file
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Path to output folder
  -v, --verbose
  --version             Display the program's version
  -c CONFIG_FILE, --config-file CONFIG_FILE
                        Path to config file (required). See
                        example/config_example.yaml

Example runs

An example configuration file can be downloaded from GitHub: https://github.com/SlavovLab/DART-ID/blob/master/config_files/example_sqc_67_95_varied.yaml.

The first few lines of the above configuration file specify the path to the input file:

## Input
## ==========================

input:
  - /path/to/SQC_67_95_Varied/evidence.txt

You can download the evidence.txt file from MassIVE: ftp://massive.ucsd.edu/MSV000083149/other/MaxQuant/SQC_67_95_Varied/evidence.txt.

Then edit the path to the file downloaded, and run the following command:

dart_id -c config_files/example_sqc_67_95_varied.yaml -o ~/DART_ID/SQC_67_95_varied_20181206

The -o parameter points to the output folder for DART-ID. You can also specify this path in the config file.

An example analysis of the data and configuration file specified above is available publicly at ftp://massive.ucsd.edu/MSV000083149/other/Alignments/SQC_varied_20180711_4/.
