Introduction to MaxQuant

Trainers: Carlo de Nart, Peli Kyriakidou

Overview: This presentation will give a general overview of the computational workflow that is implemented in MaxQuant as well as detailed descriptions of the algorithmic implementations of the core building blocks.

Learning outcomes

Practical overview: During this hands-on training the participants will learn how to use MaxQuant to process their mass spectrometric raw data. The trainer demonstrates step by step how to set up and run a MaxQuant analysis and explain the viewer component which allows a visual inspection of the analysed data.
