PRIDE Converter: making proteomics data-sharing easy

Nature Biotechnology volume 27, pages 598–599 (2009)Cite this article

To the Editor:

Your editorial on 'Democratizing Proteomics Data'1 correctly addressed the increasing importance of making proteomics data publicly available so that it can be audited, reanalyzed or reused. To make global data-sharing in the field work, however, it is important to minimize the burden of uploading data into publicly available databases, such as PRIDE2. To this end, we have written a freely available, open source tool called PRIDE Converter that makes it straightforward to submit proteomics data to PRIDE from most common data formats.
