The DatabaseFilter tool filters a protein database in fasta format according to one or multiple filtering criteria.

The resulting database is written as output. Depending on the reporting method (method="whitelist" or "blacklist") only entries are retained that passed all filters ("whitelist) or failed at least one filter ("blacklist").

Implemented filter criteria:

accession: Filter database according to the set of protein accessions contained in an identification file (idXML, mzIdentML)

The command line parameters of this tool are:

Usage:
  DatabaseFilter <options>

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <file>*        Input FASTA file, containing a database. (valid formats: 'fasta')
  -id <file>*        Input file containing identified peptides and proteins. (valid formats: 'idXML', 'mzid')
  -method <choice>   Switch between white-/blacklisting (default: 'whitelist' valid: 'whitelist', 'blacklist'
                     )
  -out <file>*       Output FASTA file where the reduced database will be written to. (valid formats: 'fasta'
                     )
                     
Common UTIL options:
  -ini <file>        Use the given TOPP INI file
  -threads <n>       Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (default: '1')
  -write_ini <file>  Writes the default configuration file
  --help             Shows options
  --helphelp         Shows all options (including advanced)
