Abstract
Calis-p (The CALgary approach to ISotopes in proteomics) is a java application to estimate isotopic composition (e.g. delta13C or delta15N) of individual species in a microbial community from a proteomic dataset. Calis-p 2.1 handles both natural isotope abundances and data from labelling experiments such as stable isotope probing (SIP). It requires a mzIdent (or target spectrum match) and mzML files as the input and requires about 1 min per mzML file with 10 threads and needs <10 Gb of RAM. It has been tested with data from various nano liquid chromatography/Orbitrap platforms. For successful SIP, it is extremely sensitive, but requires the 13C fraction to remain below 10%.
Detailed documentation can be found in the Wiki on https://sourceforge.net/p/calis-p/wiki/Home/ and the research article.
