Researchers using PEAKS software performed excellently and identified a considerably high quantity of peptides with a very low false discovery rate (FDR). This is just another study illustrating the exceptional capability of PEAKS software in providing a combination of high peptide identification rate and low FDR from database searching.

These slides demonstrate highlights of the study.

A number of official conclusions were made by the organizers, of particular interest were the following:

• People were generally over-optimistic about how reliable their results were (FDR underestimation). View highlight slide 2 or official slide 32.
• Experience with tools was thought to have contributed significantly to the success of a lab's results. To make sure you are getting the most out of PEAKS, we offer FREE regularly scheduled weekly training webinars. Click here for more details about PEAKS' free training webinars.
