Martínez-Bartolomé, S., Medina-Aunon, J.A., Jones, A.R., Albar, J.P. Semi-automatic tool to describe, store and compare proteomics experiments based on MIAPE compliant reports. Proteomics 2010;10(6):1256-60 [link to PubMed]

This tool allows you to generate different types of MIAPE documents:

GE - Gel Electrophoresis (Download MIAPE GE v1.4 ) (10th January, 2008)

GI - Gel Electrophoresis Informatics (Download MIAPE GI v1.0 ) (July, 2009)

MS - Mass Spectrometry (Download MIAPE MS draft v2.96 ) (16th Feb, 2010)

MSI - Mass Spectrometry Informatics (Download MIAPE MSI v1.1 ) (5th February, 2008)

You can create projects which can store several MIAPE documents that will be stored in our database so that they can be easily accessed by people in your scope. (If you belong to a ProteoRed laboratory, all people in your laboratory will be able to access to your projects and documents - If you are registered as a normal user, your projects and documents will be accesible only by yourself).

The information of the MIAPE documents will be stored in our server, so you will be able to retrieve the same information in order to use it for another documents avoiding to refill again all the information.

Please note that this tool will not prevent anybody to enter documents that doesn’t comply with MIAPE requirements. It is a help to produce such documents, not a magic wand that will do everything automatically. It’s up to the user to fill all fields properly in with correct informations. This tool will only make sure the informations are given, not that they are correct.

Also note that there are some cases in which the section is an additional information that not comply with MIAPE requirements. In these cases the section will be presented with a different background color.

HUPO Proteomic Standard Initiative (PSI) is a working group that defines standards for data representation in proteomics, in order to facilitate the diffusion of the information (data exchange), quality evaluation and verification of the works, as well as comparisons between experiments. Among them, MIAPE documents specifies the minimum information to report when publishing a proteomics experiment.

Both the generation and the analysis of proteomics data are now widespread, and high-throughput approaches are commonplace. Protocols continue to increase in complexity, as both methods and technologies evolve and diversify. Consensus minimum reporting requirements for proteomics experiments, analogous to the MIAME reporting requirements for transcriptomics, are required to standardize the collection, integration, storage and dissemination of proteomics data. This document describes a series of ‘MIAPE modules’, each of which contains a minimum reporting requirement for a specific technique such as gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, or proteoinformatics. It also describes the processes and principles underpinning the development of those modules; discusses the ramifications for various interest groups such as experimentalists, funders and publishers; addresses the issue of overlap between MIAPE and other domains’ requirements; and highlights the importance of the availability of appropriate tools to support compliant reporting.
