The key to MS -based proteomics is peptide sequencing. The major challenge in peptide sequencing, whether library search or de novo, is to better infer statistical significance and better attain noise reduction. Since the noise in a spectrum depends on experimental conditions, the instrument used and many other factors, it cannot be predicted even if the peptide sequence is known. The characteristics of the noise can only be uncovered once a spectrum is given. We wish to overcome such issues.
