TCUP 1.1

|name| overview; input blast8, output estimated taxonomic composition and detected antibiotic resistance proteins.

TCUP uses peptides generated by mass spectrometry proteomics to:

  • identify and estimate the taxonomic composition of a microbial sample.
  • detect expressed antibiotic resistance proteins.

TCUP does not require a priori information about the contents of a sample and is suitable for analysis of both pure cultures, mixed samples, and clinical samples.

Read Introduction and overview for more details on how it works. If you prefer to throw yourself head-first into TCUP without first knowing the details of how it works, check out Installation right away to get started!
