GlyQ-IQ is software that performs a targeted, chromatographic centric search of mass spectral data for glycans. The software uses a list of glycan targets to search for expected features in MS1 spectra. Features are characterized by monoisotopic mass, elution time, and isotopic fit score. Features are annotated by glycan family relationships and in-source fragmentation patterns.
Note: GlyQ-IQ is provided on an as-is basis and is no longer supported.
The downloadable zip file contains the executables, plus example parameter files and batch files for automation. See batch file RunPeakDetector.bat for example usage.
L_13_HighMannose_TargetsFirstAll.txt includes a target list of 10 high mannose glycans. Files with more extensive lists of glycans are also included in the Libraries folder.
Prior to using GlyQ-IQ you must download and install the MSFileReader by creating an account at https://thermo.flexnetoperations.com/control/thmo/login, then logging in and choosing “Utility Software”
All publications that utilize this software should provide appropriate acknowledgement to PNNL and the GlyQ-IQ publication. However, if the software is extended or modified, then any subsequent publications should include a more extensive statement, as shown in the Readme file for the given application or on the website that more fully describes the application.
