IdentificationParametersCLI

Identification Parameters Command Line Interface

IdentificationParametersCLI can be used to create or edit an identification parameter file via the command line for use in DeNovoGUI. Identification parameter files are in the json format and can also be created in the graphical user interface or using third party tools. Alternatively, the parameters can be created and edited directly in the command lines of DeNovoGUI.

Note that most of the advanced settings and algorithm specific parameters listed below are for expert usage only. Changes from the default settings should be done with care.


General command line

java -cp DeNovoGUI-X.Y.Z.jar 
com.compomics.denovogui.cmd.IdentificationParametersCLI [parameters]

General parameters

-out                      The destination Identification Parameters file (.par).

-id_params                An identification parameters file to modify (optional).

-mods                     Lists the available modifications.
                          "Name (Description)" is given for every modification.
                          Use the name for the setting of parameters.

                          Note: case sensitive.

-variable_mods            Variable modifications as comma separated list,
                          e.g., "Oxidation of M, Phosphorylation of S"
                          Note: case sensitive.
