When the Proteome Discoverer application imports a file, it retains protein title lines but removes any invalid and duplicate protein sequences. Therefore, the FASTA file you export might differ from the original file. The exported FASTA file lists the duplicate proteins with their titles lines in consecutive order.

You can export any FASTA file you have added or downloaded to the application.

Procedure

  1. From the application menu bar, select Administration > Maintain FASTA Files.
  2. Select the FASTA file that you want to export.
  3. Select Export.
  4. In the Save As dialog box, locate the directory where you want to save the FASTA file, and then select Save.
  5. The job queue opens and displays a status of “Completed” in the Execution State column when the application finishes exporting the file.
