Context comparisons

Definition

The purpose is to search for similar protein groups, i.e. protein groups:

  • having the same set of proteins
  • identified by a same set of peptides

The Dice coefficient is used to measure similarity (result ranges from 0 to 1).

Compare two contexts with each other

The “Each other” context comparison algorithm will compare every protein groups of the first context with every protein groups of the second context.
Comparing two protein groups each other means:

  • Checking the similarity of their protein sets (sameset and subset)
  • Checking the similarity of their peptide sets
  • Checking if “master” proteins are identical

Compare N contexts

Similar with previous comparison Compare each context with a unique reference
Build the reference
easure similarity and “best alignment”. Identification union …aka the parent context
