Submission Overview
The ProteomExchange consortium has been set up to provide a single point of submission to proteomics repositories so that users need not be confused about to which repository they should submit, nor learn different submission interfaces. Additionally, once submitted to the ProteomExchange entry point, the data can be automatically distributed to all other repositories.
ach submission shall consist of three major components: mass spectrometer output files, study metadata, and peptide/protein identifications (further details in section 4; definitions provided in section 2). All submissions will include all three components and will be made to the PRIDE repository using data sufficiency guidelines established by PRIDE as described below.
At the time when the submitted data are declared publicly available by the submitter, all mass spectrometer output files will be deposited in the Tranche repository. Hash keys required to download this information from Tranche and study metadata will be displayed in PRIDE and actively transmitted to PeptideAtlas and any other participating ProteomExchange repositories (see section 3 for information about the individual repositories) for further processing.
This insures that a simple one-time submission from a contributer is automatically distributed to all ProteomExchange repositories with sufficient information.
