The Proteome Discoverer application offers a dual-workflow search capability to search for matching proteins and peptides. You can use the application’s Workflow Editor to create customized searches and customized results reports.

You can create two types of workflows:

  • A customized processing workflow that generates the primary search results from the input data files
  • A customized consensus workflow to combine and display the results

The Workflow Editor can accept single or multiple input raw data files for its processing workflow, and can accept single or multiple MSF files for its consensus workflow. The Workflow Editor can search with multiple algorithms and merges results from multiple fragmentation methods. For detailed information about the Workflow Editor, see Using workflows.
