We are regular HDX-MS users
who got tired of relying on commercial software to analyze HDX data and create
high quality representation of our results.
Our objective is to provide an
open-source code to help every HDX-MS user in their statistical analysis and
representation of the data. Our app provides several representations for the
HDX results giving the users many options to fulfill their needs. Since the
code is publicly available, we encourage the users to download it in their
personal computers and modify it to satisfy their specific needs. This app was
written in R (programming language and free software) to make sure every user can access it.
This app performs an automated workflow to statistically analyze HDX data using
a hybrid significant test as published by Hageman and Weis in 2019 (link). The
input file is either the output file of HDExaminer,
the output file of Dynamix or a csv file formatted as described below. After
the analysis is done, you can download several different representations of
your HDX-MS data and an excel spreadsheet with all the results in it. Following
the recommendations
of the HDX-MS community published in Nat Methods 16, 2019, we suggest
the users to include most of the representation given by this app as supporting
information to ease the understanding of the data.
If you use our app, please
cite our manuscript (link)
and let us know what you think via Twitter.
TUTORIAL/INSTRUCTIONS:
This app is composed of 10
tabs that you can access through the left panel. Most of the tabs will be
empty until you upload your data.
