MASIC Results Merger
The MASIC Results Merger reads the contents of a tab-delimited peptide hit results file (e.g. from Sequest, XTandem, or Inspect) and merges that information with the corresponding MASIC results files, appending the relevant MASIC stats for each peptide hit result
The input file will typically be a Synopsis or First Hits file (created using the Peptide File Extractor), where the second column is scan number. However, any tab-delimited text file can be used for the input; you can define which column contains the scan number using the /N switch, e.g. /N:1 indicates the first column contains scan number.
If MASIC produced a _ReporterIons.txt file (created for ITRAQ data), then you can use the /C switch with the MASIC Results Merger to instruct the program to create separate output files for each collision mode type; this would be useful if the dataset had a mix of collision mode types, for example PQD and ETD.
