Submitting Proteomics Data to PRIDE Using PRIDE Converter

With the continuously growing amount of proteomics data being produced, it has become increasingly important to make these data publicly available so that they can be audited, reanalyzed, and reused. More and more journals are also starting to request the deposition of MS data in publicly available repositories for submitted proteomics manuscripts. In this chapter we focus on one of the most commonly used proteomics data repositories, PRIDE (the PRoteomics IDEntifications database, http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride), and demonstrate how a new graphical user interface tool called PRIDE Converter (http://pride-converter.googlecode.com) greatly simplifies the submission of data to PRIDE.
